PETALING JAYA: The newly-registered Parti Pejuang Tanah Air will be placing a candidate to contest in the Langkawi parliamentary seat in the 15th general election, says party chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The Langkawi MP and former prime minister, who turned 96 yesterday, said Pejuang was also in the midst of identifying other parliamentary and state seats that the party could potentially vie for in the coming polls.
However, Dr Mahathir, who won the seat under Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, could not confirm if he himself would be nominated to defend the seat, saying that the decision would rest with the party’s leadership and his state of health during GE15.
