are an opportunity for Malaysia’s second-line party leaders to bounce back from their losses at the November general election. All eyes are on the following four leaders to see if they would throw their hat into the ring.
Although Mr Azmin has expressed his desire to retire from frontline politics, PN chief Muhyiddin Yassin has insisted that he lead the charge in Selangor. The state is currently controlled by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat , where Mr Azmin served as deputy president for a decade before joining Muhyiddin’s Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia in 2020.After catapulting to the highest echelons of power as finance minister in the two previous administrations, the high-profile ex-CIMB chief executive from Umno remains in Cabinet under the Anwar unity government, in charge of international trade and investment.
Speculation that he will bid to be Selangor chief minister has gone on for most of this year, after he failed to capture the Kuala Selangor parliamentary ward at November’s general election. This meant he had to be reappointed for a three-year term in the Senate and will have to quit Cabinet in 2025.
