Setpol PM berdepan saingan 3 penjuru di Paya Rumput

Azman Abidin from PKR faces three opponents in Paya Rumput for the PRN Melaka 14 Nov. Azman, who is the chief of staff for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, is contesting the seat for the first time and will face candidates from Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Bersatu. Paya Rumput is traditionally a stronghold of the Barisan Nasional (BN) bloc, although it changed hands when PH won it in 2018 with 61% Malay voters, 30% Chinese, and 6% Indian.

In the 2021 general election, Umno candidate Rais Yasin won the seat with a 629-vote majority in a five-way contest. Rais, who is the deputy chief of state, will be contesting again in Sungai Udang.
