00:01Analysts believe that Kairi Jamaluddin is best suited to urban and semi-urban seats if the former MP is nominated
00:07to contest in the next general election.
00:10Maslan Ali from University Technology Malaysia said Kairi would be able to rally voters both in Malay and mixed areas
00:17based on the former UMNO youth chief's performance in past polls.
00:21Maslan said Kairi's image as a fairly progressive politician improves his chances of victory, especially in areas where there are
00:28many progressive Malays.
00:30Meanwhile, Shahza Shukri from International Islamic University Malaysia noted that much has been said about Kairi's unique cross-party appeal
00:37as a moderate.
00:39Speculation has swirled over possible seats for Kairi, even though he has said it is premature to talk about such
00:44matters as the decision lies with Barca National Chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
00:49On Friday, he dismissed rumors that he would contest the Kepala Batas parliamentary seat in the next general election as
00:55his late father-in-law and former long-serving Kepala Batas MP, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, had told him to leave
01:02the seat to Riza American, 9 American.
01:05Kairi has expressed his intention to seek reinstatement of his UMNO membership in Sumay Bulo.
