PETALING JAYA: Former Ketereh MP Annuar Musa says he has not been invited to Barisan Nasional’s candidate announcement ceremony for the 15th general election (GE15), which will be taking place at Umno’s headquarters tonight.
At a press conference, the former BN secretary-general said he had yet to receive the invite “for now”.
BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is set to announce the coalition’s GE15 candidates at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur tonight.
It was previously reported that Annuar, the communications and multimedia minister, might not get to defend his parliamentary seat in GE15.
Last Saturday, Annuar said he wanted to defend his Ketereh seat and would not contest in any other constituency.
The former Umno secretary-general lost the seat to a PKR candidate in 2008 but wrested it back in 2013, before retaining the seat in the last general election in 2018.
