SEREMBAN: Negeri Sembilan Amanah Wanita chief Norwani Ahmat said protests against her candidacy in Paroi by the party grassroots in the constituency are part and parcel of a healthy democracy.
The PH candidate said while Amanah members had the right to support whoever they wanted, they must also respect decisions made by the party leadership to ensure discipline.
Norwani’s candidacy encountered opposition from several party branch chiefs in Paroi who had wanted the area’s former assemblyman Taufek Abd Ghani to be fielded instead. However, Taufek himself has backed Norwani’s candidacy.
