Pakatan Harapan's candidates for the prime minister and deputy prime minister's posts, Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, will embark on a nationwide tour starting next month.
Mahathir, 93, said the roadshow to all states would take place on a weekly basis.
"We only have 14 weeks if we assume that the election is in May,” the former premier told a press conference in Petaling Jaya this afternoon.
The roadshow would comprise ceramah featuring Harapan's top leaders and walkabouts to meet voters to explain the coalition's policies and rebut accusations from the ruling-BN government.
While the tour would be held under the Harapan banner, it remains unclear if the coalition's logo could be used in the next election.
Mahathir said Harapan had yet to receive news from the Registrar of Societies (ROS) on their application to become a formal coalition.
"They said there were problems with Bersatu and DAP, we have tried to fix it but until now there has been no response," he added.
The Home Ministry, which oversees the ROS, told Harapan in November last year that their application had been delayed due to DAP's central executive committee re-election and Bersatu not having held their annual general meeting.
Both parties have since resolved these pending issues.
Mahathir, who is Harapan chairperson, cannot wait for the ROS as campaigning takes time.
Asked if the coalition had considered contesting under a single logo of one of the member parties, the former premier said this had yet to be discussed.- Mkini
