Wan Saiful likely to contest in Tasek Gelugor
PETALING JAYA: Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan is likely to contest the Tasek Gelugor seat in Penang in the coming general election (GE15).
According to a party source, Wan Saiful was initially touted to stand in Kubang Pasu, Kedah, where had been active on the ground.
However, the party has apparently had a change of heart because the Kubang Pasu Bersatu division is considered weak and unable to build up enough grassroots support before GE15.
The insider said Bersatu wants to field a “heavyweight” candidate to defend its Tasek Gelugor seat. Its former MP, Shabudin Yahaya, who won the seat on an Umno ticket before defecting to Bersatu, has decided to sit out of the nationwide polls.
