KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional is considering fielding Naim Kurniawan, the son of the late Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, as its candidate for the Kinabatangan parliamentary by-election scheduled for January next year, its chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) says.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Deputy Prime Minister and Umno president, said that although the matter has yet to be brought to the Umno and Barisan supreme councils, Bung Moktar had previously suggested that Naim Kurniawan be given the opportunity to contest the seat.
