Aminuddin, who is menteri besar, will contest Port Dickson, replacing party president Anwar Ibrahim. Aminuddin’s press secretary, Nor Azman Mohamad, is contesting in Kuala Pilah.

Former Malaysian Youth Council president Jufitri Joha is expected to face Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan in Rembau, which was won by Khairy Jamaluddin in 2018.

However, Aminuddin said he firmly believes this PKR lineup has its own strengths to secure the seats.

“Yes, in the current political situation, it’s going to be tough… but I believe we still have a good chance in all the three seats,” he said after visiting a job carnival here today.

Aminuddin, who is also state chairman of Pakatan Harapan believes PH will be able to defend all five parliamentary seats it had previously won, and also could add more seats this time.

The other two PH candidates are DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook in Seremban and Negeri Sembilan DAP secretary Cha Kee Chin in Rasah.

Amanah will announce PKR’s parliamentary candidates for Jelebu, Jempol and Tampin tomorrow.
