Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak announced today that the Barisan Nasional candidate for the Kuala Terengganu Parliamentary by-election will be current Deputy Home Minister Senator Dato' Wan Ahmad Farid bin Wan Salleh which will be held on January 17, 2009.
The selection of Dato' Wan Ahmad Farid, 46 years, a law graduate from United Kingdom was anticipated since he has popularity support in Terengganu, and is also the head of the Kuala Terengganu UMNO division, while he was born and raised in Kuala Terengganu.
Dato' Wan Ahmad Farid is considered a 'political heavyweight', which gives BN an advantage because the parliamentary seat was also previously held by a deputy minister, Datuk Razali Ismail, who died of a heart attack on November 28, 2008.
