KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Harapan had identified its candidates for the Melaka state election two years ago, said the coalition’s election director, Amirudin Shari.
“We did it (identified the candidates) a long time ago,” he said when asked if PH had decided on its candidates for the Nov 14 election.
He said PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim and the component party leaders will finalise the list before announcing the candidates on Oct 24.
Asked if PH will field many new faces, Amirudin only said the candidates come from diverse backgrounds.
“There are young candidates and experienced ones. Some of them have careers," he told reporters after attending the launch of six homegrown semiconductor innovations here today.
Nominations for the Melaka election will take place on Oct 31, and early voting is set for Nov 10.
