GE14 | Celebrity Azwan Ali has picked the “elephant” as his logo for the coming general election, where he plans to contest in the Bukit Antarabangsa state seat against his brother and caretaker Selangor menteri besar Azmin Ali.

“Hot, hot, hot... I can confirm I am using the elephant logo.

“I will be contesting as an independent candidate. Why am I going there?

“Because I am confident that the people of Bukit Antarabangsa are fed up with Azmin's false promises,” he told Sinar Harian.

Azwan also outlined five promises for the voters in Bukit Antarabangsa, which included visiting the constituency on a daily basis.

“To eradicate corruption in politics, solve the water woes in Selangor as soon as possible, affordable homes for the people and to hold frequent charity sessions with the people,” he added.

Responding to a question, Azwan said he does not mind even if he received a single vote in the May 9 general election.

“I have done the necessary work at the Election Commission office. This proves I am serious about contesting.

“I am confident. I am okay with even a single vote. That would be precious to me even if I lose my deposit. It's my money, not yours,” he added.

In the 2013 general election, Azmin won the Bukit Antarabangsa seat with a majority of 16, 502 votes, defeating BN's Mohamad Nazim Ibrahim.

Last week, Azwan told Malaysiakini that he is contesting in order to expose his brother's alleged wrongdoings.

“I want to strip Azmin naked, and he will be bared naked. That is my manifesto, because (knowledge of) all his sins are now in my hands.

“I want to contest because he needs to be wiped out. That's because he is a leader who is most hypocritical and the most wretched in Selangor.

“I don't want the Selangor people to continue to be fooled,” Azwan said.
