00:00Pera Amno Youth Vice Chief Fahmi Ahmad Jakisi is said to be among the frontrunners to be
00:06fielded as Barisan Nasional's candidate for the IU Kuningbai election.
00:11A party source told FMT that Fahmi, who is also the TAPA Amno Youth chief, had already
00:17obtained the blessing of the central and state BN leaderships to contest in the upcoming
00:21election.
00:23The source said Fahmi's experience and position in the Pera Amno Youth hierarchy and his close
00:27relationship with the local community in TAPA and the surrounding areas could give
00:32him an edge in understanding the issues faced by the IU Kuning electorate.
00:37The source also said Fahmi was actively involved in various Amno Youth programmes at the state
00:42level, adding that this showcased his ability to lead and inspire the younger generation
00:47to attract young voters in the next general election.
00:50A TAPA native, 42-year-old Fahmi previously served as a special officer to former Pera
00:55Executive Councillor and IU Kuning Assemblyman, Samsudin Abu Hassan.
01:00Samsudin did not defend the seat in the 2022 election, as BN fielded Isham Shahruddin who
01:06won the five-cornered contest with a 2,213-vote majority.
01:11Isham, 59, died last Saturday after suffering a heart attack following a friendly football
