It is logical for Khairy Jamaluddin to vie for the Alor Setar parliamentary seat in the next general election, according to its incumbent Chan Ming Kai.

The PKR lawmaker said the health minister had mentioned moving to Kedah albeit light-heartedly during a conversation in June this year.

“Back then, I texted him over some official matters. Then he joked he happened to be in Kedah for a ministerial function as well as to check if there is any place for him to contest in the state.

“I told him that if he comes to Alor Setar, I might consider staying as he is a great opponent,” he added.
