Former Minister Zaid Ibrahim has confirmed his candidacy in the coming general elections.
KOTA BAHARU: Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita) president Zaid Ibrahim has confirmed that he will be contesting in the Kota Bahru parliamentary seat in the 13th General Election.
He emphasised that his decision to contest was not to split the votes of any party but was based on his capability and an opportunity to clear his name.
“The accusation cropped up because my political struggle is not understood.
“We contest because we are capable and because it is a good opportunity. As such, Kita will not contest without direction,” said the ex-Kota Bahru MP.
He was speaking to reporters after launching the Kita election machinery at his house in Kubang Kerian, here, last night.
Zaid won the Kota Bahru parliamentary seat on the Barisan Nasional ticket in 2004.
He beat PKR candidate Nik Mahmood Nik Hassan by a 1,723 votes majority.
