Former health minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba is making his electoral return in a three-cornered contest for the Pasir Raja state seat in the Johor state election, setting up a high-profile comeback bid under Barisan Nasional (BN).
Dr Adham, who previously held the seat for two terms from 2008 to 2018 before moving to Parliament, will face Mohd Fakharuddin Moslim of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Perikatan Nasional’s Yuhanita Yunan in the constituency race.
Returning officer Nurul Aishah Mohamadon announced the candidates at 10:43am at Dewan Arena Segitiga, confirming the final line-up for the seat.
Adham’s return has drawn attention given his previous tenure as Pasir Raja assemblyman before winning the Tenggara parliamentary seat in 2018.
