IPOH – Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed that he will contest the Tambun parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15), ending weeks of speculation about this move.
The decision is likely to set up an intriguing clash in the constituency between the opposition leader and former Perak menteri besar, Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu of Bersatu, who is the incumbent one-term MP there.
Anwar made the announcement in his speech at the PH convention here tonight.
Addressing a 7,000-strong crowd at the event today, the PKR president said that he has seen the opposition coalition gain control over Penang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan in recent elections, and thus felt the responsibility to lead Perak to achieve the same here.
