Amanah president Mohamad Sabu has affirmed the party’s choice to nominate Sharon Teo Siew Hui as a candidate in the Permas state seat for the upcoming Johor election. This decision follows opposition from Amanah’s Pasir Gudang division, which had initiated a boycott. Sabu justified the move, indicating no issues with fielding a non-Malay candidate in the constituency. The situation highlights internal divisions within the party regarding candidate selection. The Johor state election is scheduled for March 12th, and this nomination is likely to spark further discussion about representation and political strategy. The party appears resolute in its decision despite the internal dissent, prioritizing its overall electoral goals.
