Najib has been renominated as a candidate for his Pekan seat in Pahang, despite speculation he would be replaced by his son Nizar who is already assembling a team to defend his dad’s seat. He is on a list of 5 candidates who can be chosen.
It must be a joke that a convicted and incarcerated felon is renominated as a candidate for his parliamentary seat for the upcoming general election by his local party branch. The joke is on Umno.
Either they are not aware of the reality of Najib’s jailing or they are living in dreams and are going against logic. If Najib is allowed to contest and wins the seat, India would not be the only country where convicts become MPs.
