Cheeky idea: Rafizi as MB if Rantau byelection held and he wins — Aminuddin

SEREMBAN: The idea of Parti Keadilan Rakyat ( PKR) vicepresident, Mohd Rafizi Ramli becoming ‘ menteri besar’ if a by-election is held for the Rantau state seat and he wins as a candidate, has been dismissed as cheeky speculation.

Current Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar and state Pakatan Harapan ( PH) chairman, Aminuddin Harun said to date, the court had not decided on the petition to strike out the results of the contest for the Rantau seat in the 14th general election (GE14).

“I feel this is cheeky speculation not that I love the ( MB) post so much, I will let go if that is what the central leadership wants.

“To me, Rafizi has a bigger role to play than that of a state leader. This (speculation) is made by some dissatisfied individuals while the party ( PKR) elections are not over yet,” he told reporters after chairing a state executive council meeting here yesterday.

Aminuddin, who is also state PKR chairman, said only the top leadership could decide on the candidate and he on his part, could only suggest a suitable candidate. — Bernama
