The three FT BN women candidates are Tan Ean Ean for Bukit Bintang parliamentary seat, Heng Sinn Yee (Cheras) and Chan Quin Er (Seputeh).
Other candidates are Adnan Abu Seman (Bandar Tun Razak) , Ong Siang Liang (Kepong) and Datuk Dr Loga Bala Mohan (Segambut), Datuk Dr Dominic Lau (Batu), Datuk Seri Yeow Teong Look (Wangsa Maju), Tan Sri Zulhasnan Rafique (Setiawangsa), Datuk Seri Johari Ghani (Titiwangsa), Datuk Seri Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin (Lembah Pantai), Datuk Rozman Isli (Labuan) and Tengku Adnan (Putrajaya).
Asked on his chances to defend his Putrajaya seat, Tengku Adnan said he would leave it to voters to decide.
"To me, I've done my best for the people in Putrajaya and looked after the welfare of the people including the less fortunate," he said.
