PN deputy chairman Abdul Hadi Awang says the candidates for the 27 seats are all ‘winnable’.

PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional is confident of winning 27 “critical” seats that were previously won by Pakatan Harapan in 2018 because of a split in votes between PAS and Barisan Nasional.

“We placed winnable candidates. We want PN to win,” he said in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Utusan Malaysia reported.
