Will PAS campaign in Bersatu seats? Sanusi says 'we'll see'

 

Despite the seat allocation among component parties being settled, PAS has not given a clear answer on whether the party will campaign in seats contested by Bersatu in the upcoming Johor state election.

PAS election director Sanusi Nor instead only said that the party would campaign for Perikatan Nasional.

“We will campaign for PN. That will happen on the ground; we’ll see.

“We will have states coming in to help; we will arrange things as usual, the election process as usual,” he told the media when met at the PAS headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

Sanusi (above) said this when asked about cooperation between PAS and Bersatu, particularly on campaigning in the state election, following the end of their political cooperation.

The Kedah menteri besar stressed that what matters now is voter support in Johor, by whatever means possible.

“We want Johor voters to vote for PN. Whatever we can do, we will do,” he said.

Earlier, Sanusi, who heads PN’s seat negotiation committee for the state election, said the seat allocation process among the four component parties had been resolved harmoniously.

Multilateral ties

PAS central committee member Annuar Musa, when asked about cooperation between the two parties, explained that PAS and Bersatu’s relationship within PN is multilateral.

“That is bilateral (PAS-Bersatu); this is multilateral (PN). PN is one thing, PAS is another. There is no overlap.

“In Perlis, the menteri besar remains, the exco remains. PN remains, looking for the best way forward without emotion.

“The four parties sat down, divided the seats properly, and laughed together,” said Annuar, who also took part in the seat negotiation process that ended today. - Mkini
