Hulu Selangor: PKR confirms Zaid as candidate


(FMT) – PKR this morning formally decided to pick supreme council member Zaid Ibrahim as its candidate for the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat by-election on April 25.

Zaid will be officially introduced as the candidate at a ceramah in Serandah tonight.

The decision to pick Zaid was made at the party’s political bureau meeting chaired by party head Anwar Ibrahim at his house in Bukit Segambut.

“It was a unanimous decision to select Zaid,” said a party insider.

The Hulu Selangor seat fell vacant following the death of PKR’s Zainal Abidin Ahmad on March 25. Nominations for the by-election will be held on April 17.

Although Zaid’s name was only approved by the party leaders today, his candidacy was however known to selected party leaders since the beginning.

“Immediately after Zainal’s death, Anwar had informed Zaid that he will be the candidate,” added the party insider. 

This was also known to some in Anwar’s inner circle, he said.
