KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu has not ruled out the possibility of swapping seats with PAS in the 15th general election (GE15).
Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin said this was among strategies for the party to win in the coming polls.
“It is important that component leaders win in constituencies they stand in.
“Which is why we are looking at swapping seats. Depending on the candidates PAS intends to fill, it may need the seats won by Bersatu (in the previous polls) and vice-versa,” he told reporters after attending a briefing on flood preparations at Bukit Aman here.
It had been previously reported that PN component parties would finalise seat allocations soon.
Umno or Bersatu?
On a separate matter, Hamzah, who is also the Perikatan Nasional secretary-general, is confident that PAS will remain with the coalition.
Over the weekend, the Islamic party said it was striving to get Bersatu and Umno to work together for GE15 for the sake of Muslim unity.
PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin said it would make a final decision on its allegiance to either party on Thursday after Umno and Bersatu had set their requirements for political collaborations. - FMT
