Johor Umno Youth slams Amanah's ‘nauseating' habit of pushing for seats

PETALING JAYA : Johor Umno Youth has described as 'nauseating' Amanah's tendency to stake its claim of seats it wants to contest at the next state election, despite Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan having yet to finalise any negotiations.
Johor Umno Youth chief Noor Azleen Ambros said Johor Amanah vice-chief Zuhan Zain had gone overboard by claiming that PH could go solo at the next Johor polls.
Zuhan had said he did not discount the possibility of PH clashing with BN – its ally in the unity government – at the 16th general election.
Noor Azleen said seat negotiations would be conducted as a coalition, in this case by BN and PH, and not by the individual components.
'So, it is best to refer to your own coalition first before issuing such nauseating statements.
'Also, Amanah should cut its coat according to the cloth. It only has the right to defend one state seat,' he said in a statement, referring to the Simpang Jeram constituency, currently represented by Nazri Abdul Rahman.
Last Saturday, Zuhan said Johor PH needed to immediately decide if it wanted to go solo or team up with BN in the next state election.
He said it was vital to decide on this as soon as possible to enable the coalition to focus on preparing for the polls, expected to be held early next year.
An early decision was also needed to discuss seat allocations if PH intends on continuing to work with BN, he said.
In the 2022 state election, Amanah only won one of the 20 seats contested.
