00:00Analysts view urban constituencies such as Pucha Jaya and those in Selangor as Kairi Jamaluddin's best bet for a political
00:09comeback.
00:10Azmil Tayyip said Kairi's professional image, coupled with his experience in federal administration,
00:16including his stints as health minister and youth and sports minister,
00:21made him a strong candidate for support from urban waters.
00:26Noting Kairi's degree in philosophy, politics and economics from the University of Oxford,
00:31he said this would give him an added advantage.
00:34These two factors could be a major draw for urban voters, especially in Selangor,
00:40which has a large professional electorate, the University Science Malaysia academic told F&T.
00:46Meanwhile, political scientist Wang Chin Huat of Sunwe University said BN's strategy to avoid seat clashes with PH
00:53could narrow Kairi's options in urban constituencies.
00:57However, he said this would not necessarily be an obstacle,
01:01as Kairi was able to attract support across party lines and could potentially contest
01:07Pakatan Harapan or Muda held seats in multi-cornered fights,
01:11where his profile might appeal to a segment of the coalition's voters.
