KUALA LUMPUR - Perikatan Nasional (PN) Elections Director Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali is officially contesting in Gombak while Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu will contest in Tambun parliamentary seat.

This means that Azmin, who is the Gombak incumbent MP would contest against Selangor MB Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari who represented Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Umno Selangor Relation Chairman Datuk Megat Zulkarnain Omardin who would represent Barisan Nasional (BN).

Meanwhile in Tambun, Faizal would contest against PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

When asked about his confidence in winning the Tambun seat, Faizal said it was not just him competing in the election but also PN as a team.

He said they were confident of the services they have provided to the people for the past five years.
