KUALA LUMPUR: The unity government candidate for the Mahkota state by-election in Johor will be from Barisan Nasional, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Barisan chairman and Umno president, told a press conference here on Tuesday (Aug 13) that it is customary for the party that holds a state or parliamentary seat involved in a by-election to contest it again.
