Pejuang to carry on serving the people, says Mukhriz

ALOR SETAR: Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) will continue to serve in ensuring that the country continues to maintain its honour and prosperity, says its president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.

In his first reaction after the defeat of the party, Mukhriz who also lost his election deposits in the 15th General Election congratulated Perikatan Nasional candidate from PAS Dr Abdul Ghani Ahmad who had been chosen as the new MP for Jerlun parliamentary constituency.

"I wish to congratulate Dr Abdul Ghani Ahmad who has been the new MP for Jerlun. I wish the best in your duty and service to the people," he posted on his Facebook.

Mukhriz thanked the Pejuang election machinery at all levels for their hard work during the campaigning period.

He also thanked the people of Jerlun for giving him space and opportunity to serve as their representative during his terms.

Mukhriz lost his deposit after he only registered 3,144 votes during the 15th General Election, losing to Dr Abdul Ghani Ahmad who won with 31,685 votes and a majority of 20,456.
