The decision by PAS to use the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo for the Malacca state election reflects the party’s confidence in the coalition’s cause and struggles, Bersatu vice-president Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen said.
He said this is because PN is a new offering to Malaysians of all races and would provide the best service.
"We always cooperate and meet to ensure the machinery is used most effectively to ensure PN performs well in the coming state election,” Rafiq (above) told reporters yesterday.
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang announced the party would use the PN logo in the forthcoming Malacca election after the matter was approved at the PAS central working committee meeting.
Meanwhile, Rafiq, who is Malacca PN chair, said candidates for the election would be announced by PN chair Muhyiddin Yassin.
"Malaysians can evaluate candidates and also (see the distribution) of seats that will be contested,” he said.
On Oct 22, Muhyiddin was quoted as saying that PN was expected to contest all 28 seats in the Malacca state election.
The Election Commission (EC) set Nov 20 as the polling date, while Nov 8 will be nomination day. Early voting will be on Nov 16.
The Malacca state election is being held following the dissolution of the state legislative assembly on Oct 4 after four assemblypersons, Idris Haron (BN-Sungai Udang), Nor Azman Hassan (BN-Pantai Kundor), Norhizam Hassan Baktee (Independent-Pengkalan Batu), and Noor Effandi Ahmad (Bersatu-Telok Mas), withdrew their support for Malacca Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali’s administration.
