SEREMBAN:
Barisan Nasional’s candidate for the Jeram Padang state seat, Zaidy Abdul Kadir, was reported to have been involved in an accident early this morning.

“Dato Zaidy is in a stable condition. His right knee is swollen, it’s nothing serious,” said a Negeri Sembilan BN official.

However, it is understood that Zaidy’s driver is in a critical condition.

Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the accident happened at 3.25am along the Pasir Besar-Palong road in Jempol.

“Let us pray for their speedy recovery,” said Asyraf in a Facebook post.

In a statement, Tampin district police chief Anuwal Ab Wahab said Zaidy had broken his leg while a passenger was seriously injured. Both were sent to Hospital Jempol.

Zaidy is up against Perikatan Nasional’s S Sreenivasan for the Jeram Padang seat.

MIC’s L Manickam won the seat for BN in the last state election in 2018 with a 1,062-vote majority win over Sreenivasan, who contested as an independent candidate.
