Umno’s Nur Jazlan says not seeking to reclaim Pulai in GE15 because report shows BN can’t win the Johor federal seat

JOHOR BARU, March 25 ― In a surprise announcement last night, Johor Umno deputy chief Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said that he will not be contesting the Pulai parliamentary constituency for the coming 15th general election (GE15).

He cited the challenging political climate as a reason, despite Barisan Nasional’s (BN) landslide victory in the recently concluded Johor state election.

“As the Pulai BN chief, I will not seek to contest in the coming general election as I feel that my time is up and BN has no place in Pulai anymore.

“I have seen my own voter base reduced from my first stint as an MP in the Pulai parliamentary constituency back in 2004, where I managed more than 70 per cent majority to only 40 per cent in the last general election in 2018.
