SEMENYIH – Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has picked its Youth wing committee member Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul, 25, as the candidate for the by-election for the Semenyih state constituency.
PSM Central Committee (CC) member S. Arutchelvan , who made the announcement here today, said Nik Aziz was a very good choice because he would best represent the voters as 45 per cent of them were below 40 years.
Present during the announcement were PSM president Dr Nasir Hashim, CC member Dr Michael Jeyakumar and Youth wing chief Khalid Ismath.
The by-election is necessitated due to the death of the incumbent Bakhtiar Mohd Nor, 57, from Bersatu, of a heart attack on Jan 11.
Nomination is this Saturday (Feb 16) and polling on March 2.
