IT is an open secret that there is a dwindling chance for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, as the incumbent Pekan MP, to defend his seat in the upcoming 15th general election (GE15), pending any decision for a royal pardon.
It is also not much of a secret that Najib’s eldest son Datuk Mohd Nizar Najib is the prime candidate to take over his father’s Pekan seat and keep the family’s legacy intact.
For the uninitiated, former prime minister Najib has been the Pekan MP since 1976. Pekan has been held by the family since 1959, first with Najib’s father, second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, and then by Najib on Abdul Razak’s demise (except for one term from 1982–1986 when Najib was menteri besar of Pahang).
Further fuelling speculation, administrators for Najib’s official Facebook page recently shared a video of Nizar vowing to continue his father’s service in Pekan, while also sharing his career move into joining active politics.
