Johor polls: PKR youth wing hopes to contest six seats, says AMK chief

JOHOR BARU: Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) is hoping to contest in at least six seats in the upcoming Johor polls.

Its chief, Akmal Nasir, said that they had identified candidates from the PKR Youth wing to contest in the election.

"AMK will suggest to PKR's central leadership to name at least six candidates from the youth wing.

"This also means that we are suggesting for at least 30% of the candidates from PKR in the Johor election to be young people," he said in a press conference at the PKR Johor Baru office here on Sunday (Jan 30).

He noted that AMK has also identified the seats that would be suitable for the young candidates.

"The young candidates are prepared to contest seats that may be more challenging to win, not just traditional seats that PKR typically helm," he said, adding the seat would include in both urban and rural areas.
