Nizar Najib could be named as BN's candidate in Pekan
  • last year
Pekan Umno Youth chief Mohd Nizar Najib, the eldest son of former premier Najib Abdul Razak, has shown clearer signs of a possible nomination as BN's 15th general election candidate with an increased presence in the parliamentary seat.

This follows a diminishing chance for Najib as the incumbent MP to defend his seat while in jail, pending any decision for a royal pardon.

Fuelling speculations, administrators for Najib's official Facebook shared a video of Nizar vowing to continue his father's service in Pekan, as well as sharing his career move into joining active politics.
