After tussle with DAP, PKR’s Chua Jui Meng to get seat in Johor
(The Malaysian Insider) – Johor PKR chief Datuk Chua Jui Meng will get a seat to contest in the southern state, PKR deputy president Azmin Ali has said in signalling that the issue of Chua’s tussle with political ally DAP has been resolved.
Azmin said the PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim met with Chua on Tuesday over the matter.
“… Anwar has met and had a long discussion with Chua (Jui Meng) last night about that matter.
“We need to see the political scenario that happened there and will offer a suitable area for Chua (Jui Meng) in Johor,” Azmin was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian yesterday.
Chua (picture) had previously engaged in a public spat with Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau over the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat in the state, but Anwar announced last month that DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang would contest the seat instead in Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) drive to make inroads into the state known as Barisan Nasional’s (BN) stronghold.
Last week, Johor PKR was reported by news portal Malaysiakini as nudging Chua towards the Segamat seat, which party insiders believe it can win.
