KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — The youngest candidate in the 16th Melaka state election, Muhammad Mukhlisul Mubin Julasapiyah, will contest the Kuala Linggi state seat.
Representing Pakatan Harapan (PH), the 24-year-old from Parti Amanah and a law graduate of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia faces a three-cornered fight for the seat.
He will be challenged by incumbent Datuk Rosli Abdullah of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Dr Nur Farhana Hamzah of Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama).
In the 2021 Melaka polls, PH’s Farzana Hayani Nasir set the youngest-candidate record, at 21.
