Shahidan to defend Arau with PN in GE15
  • last year
The question regarding the fate of incumbent Arau MP Shahidan Kassim, who was dropped from BN’s candidates' line-up in the 15th general election (GE15), has been answered.

This comes after Perlis Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairperson Mohd Shukri Ramli's announcement tonight that the "senior Umno leader" in the state will defend the seat under the coalition's ticket.

Shahidan has served as Perlis menteri besar and state BN chairperson.

He had won the seat in the 2018 general election with a 4,856-vote majority against Pakatan Harapan and PAS opponents.
