PUTRAJAYA: Dr. Mahathir may have jeopardised Barisan Nasional's (BN) chances in the crucial Kuala Terengganu by-election when he said that the ruling coalition's candidate, Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, is a bad choice and merely a proxy.
“The choice of the candidate is really very bad because people see him as a proxy to be used if Najib becomes Prime Minister,” the former prime minister said.
This condemnation of the BN's candidate is seen as another swipe at Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
“The candidate was the prime minister's choice because he was working with the prime minister,” he added.
Wan Ahmad, the former deputy home minister and member of the Dewan Negara, who resigned both posts last Friday, will contest against Wakaf Mempelam state assemblyman Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut of PAS.
