Former Education Minister Maszlee Malik will contest the Puteri Wangsa state seat in the upcoming Johor state election (PRN Johor). This announcement follows a shift in candidate placements within the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition. Simultaneously, Onn Abu Bakar has been named as the PH candidate for the Senggarang seat. Maszlee Malik previously served as the Member of Parliament for Batu Pahat. These nominations represent strategic decisions by PH as they aim to secure seats in the Johor state assembly. The PRN Johor is scheduled to take place on March 12th, 2022, and these candidates will be key figures in the electoral contest. The changes indicate a recalibration of PH’s strategy for the state election.
