KOTA BHARU: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang will defend the Marang parliamentary seat next month contrary to speculation that he will not be running, party secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan confirmed today.
“I’ve not heard these rumours about him (Hadi) not contesting in the election this time around. I can confirm that he will be defending his seat,” he told reporters.
He was responding to talk that Hadi will not be contesting in GE15.
In the 2018 general election, Hadi won the Marang seat with a 53,749-vote majority against challengers from Barisan Nasional and PKR.
