PH roadshows in 6 states ahead of state polls, says Saifuddin

 

Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said aside from their ministerial duties, it was important for Pakatan Harapan leaders to prepare for the state elections.

ALOR GAJAH: Pakatan Harapan (PH) will conduct roadshows beginning early next year in preparation for the state elections in six states whose state assemblies have not yet been dissolved.

PH secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said it was a ‘very important’ task to convince voters in the six states to continue to support the unity government formed after the 15th general election (GE15).

“In my discussions with PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli several days ago, we said that while we have our essential duties of being part of the administration, the Cabinet, and the duty to administer ministerial affairs, it is also important to prepare the party and PH to face the state elections, which must take place within the next six months,” he said.

Saifuddin was speaking to reporters after attending a programme at SRJKC Machap Baru yesterday.

Also present were Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, who is also agriculture and food security minister, and deputy defence minister Adly Zahari.

The six states that are due to have their polls next year are Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu. - FMT
