Khairul Azwan, better known as Azwan Bro, said he would use his experience as a former Umno Youth leader and Supreme Council member to help strengthen the party.

Khairul Azwan, 46, who is Pasir Salak division deputy chief, is also vying for the division chief’s post and is leading a team in the divisional contest.

“I’m using my experience at the grassroots level since 2001 to forge a new leadership lineup to manage the party and serve the community in Pasir Salak,” he told Bernama.

The Pasir Salak division chief’s post fell vacant after the incumbent and former Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was suspended for six years by the party on disciplinary grounds.

Khairul Azwan’s Pasir Salak team includes Ramelle Ashram Ramli who is contesting to be division deputy chief; Nazari Sabran (vice-chief candidate); Dr Wan Norashikin Wan Noordin (Wanita chief candidate) and Yafiz Mohamad Mustapa (Umno Youth chief candidate).

Khairul Azwan said his team members were experienced and qualified locals.

“We are committed and determined to introduce changes and improvements to the leadership style and party management in serving the community in Pasir Salak,” he added.
