Anxious search after Wan Azizah loses IC en route to nomination centre
Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail will be contesting the Bandar Tun Razak seat against candidates from Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional.
Former deputy prime minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail had a few anxious moments today when she discovered that her identity card (IC) was missing as she was leading a procession to the nomination centre at Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur Training Institute to submit her nomination form for the Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary seat.
"I slipped my IC in the EC pass, but it fell out during the procession.
"Fortunately, it was recovered. What an agonising moment!" the Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate told reporters after the nomination of candidates for the constituency.
The loss sparked a frantic search by about 200 supporters, which ended after the IC was found by a supporter.
The contest for the Bandar Tun Razak seat will see a three-cornered fight among Wan Azizah, incumbent Kamarudin Jaffar (Perikatan Nasional) and Bandar Tun Razak MCA chief Chew Yin Keen (Barisan Nasional).
The constituency has 119,185 registered voters. The EC has set Nov 19 as polling day and Nov 15 for early voting.
