PETALING JAYA: Analysts see former ministers Azmin Ali and Radzi Jidin as Perikatan Nasional’s main candidates for the Selangor menteri besar’s post if the coalition wins in the state’s upcoming election.
Akademi Nusantara’s Azmi Hassan believed Azmin had the edge over Radzi since he helmed the post from 2014 to 2018.
However, there are concerns the former PKR deputy president could face another defeat in the polls, after losing his Gombak parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15).
If that were to happen again, Azmi believed that Radzi would be PN’s backup plan, citing his experience as a minister and his GE15 victory where he wrested the Putrajaya seat from Umno heavyweight Tengku Adnan Mansor.
