: Gombak was the centre of attraction for the government party bloc and the Opposition as the battle officially began in the six-state elections today, with the heavy presence of leaders and supporters from both sides during nominations.
Indicating that Sungai Tua, Hulu Kelang and Gombak Setia were the ‘hot’ seats eyed by the two main political rivals, political analyst Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said the unique demographics of voters there can go on to prove the true level of support for each competing party. The Gombak parliamentary constituency has a voter register of 49,055 in Sungai Tua; 88,480 ; and 71,702 voters in Hulu Kelang, and before this, it was the constituency that launched two Selangor Menteris Besar namely Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari and Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.
In this state election, Amirudin who is defending the Sungai Tua seat, will be challenged by PN’s Muhammad Hanif Jamaluddin and Independent candidate G. Suman, while Mohamed Azmin who moved from Bukit Antarabangsa seat to Hulu Kelang is facing former Bukit Melawati assemblyman Juwairiya Zulkifli, who is PKR Wanita deputy chief.
Nominations for candidates in six states, as well as for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election took place smoothly from 9 am to 10 am at 173 nomination centres. Come Aug 12, 180 seats will see a straight fight, while 51 seats will witness a three-way contest, in addition to a four-cornered battle in 13 seats, while the Lunas state constituency will be the only seat that will see a five-cornered fight.
