TAMBUN – It will be a David v Goliath battle in Tambun as caretaker youth and sports minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu takes on Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) prime minister candidate Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the parliamentary seat this Saturday.
The Perikatan Nasional (PN) deputy chairman is banking on Malay votes to make him a “giant slayer”, just as how PH’s own Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin expects to do the same in Bagan Datuk against Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
In an exclusive interview with The Vibes in Tambun, Faizal said he is also relying on the fact that he is a true-blue local in the federal seat – which now has 160,855 voters, compared to 107,763 in the 2018 national polls. In that election, Faizal won the seat in a three-cornered fight with Barisan Nasional (BN) and PAS candidates by a majority of 5,320 votes.
This time, there are more than 50,000 new voters, which includes 18- to 20-year-olds, and there is no precedent to how they will vote.
