FORMER ministers Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin are seen as Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) main contenders for the Selangor menteri besar post should the coalition win the state’s upcoming election.

(Focus Malaysia) – According to Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research senior fellow Azmi Hassan, Azmin had an advantage over Radzi as he had helmed the state from 2014 to 2018.

However, there are concerns that the former PKR deputy president could suffer another round of defeat after losing his Gombak parliamentary seat in the 15^th general election (GE15).

Speaking with FMT, Azmi said if that were to happen again, Radzi would be the coalition’s contingency plan, seeing as to how he has experience as a minister and not to mention, he had also wrested the Putrajaya seat from UMNO heavyweight Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor in GE15.

“Now it depends on where Azmin contests. A win is not guaranteed. That’s why Radzi and (Selangor Bersatu chief) Datuk Abdul Rashid Asari are next in line if Azmin loses,” Azmi told the news portal.
