Johor state election: MUDA bets on Rashifa Aljunied to defend Puteri Wangsa state seat

JOHOR BAHRU, JUNE 20 -- The Malaysian Democratic Alliance (MUDA) has announced Puteri Wangsa State Assembly Service Centre Chief Officer Rashifa Aljunied, 26, as a candidate for the Puteri Wangsa State Legislative Assembly (DUN) seat in the Johor State Election (PRN). The announcement was made by MUDA President Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz, who is also the former incumbent of the seat. "The decision to place Rashifa as a candidate was made after in-depth discussions with the top leadership and party machinery," he said at a press conference announcing the party's candidate for the first series today. Amira Aisya said her decision not to defend the seat was to contest at the Parliamentary level in the upcoming 16th General Election (GE-16). It is understood that MUDA will make a second series of candidate announcements for several more seats in the capital tomorrow. In the 2022 Johor state election, the Puteri Wangsa state seat was the only seat won by MUDA. Amira Aisya won the six-cornered contest in the seat with a majority of 7,114 votes, defeating Barisan Nasional (BN) challenger Ng Yew Aik. The Election Commission has set July 11 as polling day for the Johor state election with June 27 as nomination day and early voting on July 7. -- BERNAMA
