PETALING JAYA: Yuktes Vijay, a former aide in Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's legal team, has decided to run against the Opposition Leader for the Kajang state seat in the upcoming by-election.

“It wasn’t a hard decision to run against him. Even if he was not a former idol of mine, I would do it - this is all stupid politicking,” said the 25-year-old, who will run as an independent candidate.
