According to sources Altimet or his real name, Syed Ahmad Syed Abdul Rahman Alhadad, 45, will be nominated to contest in the Lembah Jaya state seat, which is under the Ampang parliamentary constituency
The singer who is well-known for his song Amboi had reportedly refused to contest in the 15th General Election (GE15) last year because he was not ready to take on the challenge.
He is currently the PKR division chief for Ampang,
When rumours swirled the last few weeks regarding his nomination the rapper had played coy and had neither confirmed nor denied speculation that he will run as a Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate in the state polls.
He however had expressed his readiness to contest if elected on nomination day.
"For the time being, I haven't heard anything yet, so I have to wait for the nomination day first.
"If my name is nominated, whether I want to or not, I have to be ready. Try to do my best, God willing. If destined for something else, I will also do my best," he had told Sinar.
