PAGOH: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's youth wing, Armada, hopes that at least 30% of Perikatan Nasional's candidates in the upcoming Johor polls will be those from the younger generation.
Its chief Senator Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said this includes candidates from other Perikatan component parties such as PAS and Gerakan.
"For Armada, we have suggested five seats to contest in this election but it depends on the central leadership of all parties under Perikatan to decide.
"Armada is just part of the youth components under Perikatan. Hence the candidates do not necessarily have to come from Armada – they can be from PAS' Youth or Gerakan or any other wings in Perikatan," he told the press at Pagoh Bersatu division office here on Friday (Feb 4).
Wan Ahmad also said that candidates suggested by Armada are youth leaders who have vast experience and significantly contributed to their respective areas.
