PN 'poster boy' for Selangor still under discussion

 

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has yet to finalise its “poster boy” menteri besar candidate in Selangor for the upcoming state polls.

Selangor PAS secretary Roslan Shahir Mohd Shahir said the question of whether the menteri besar candidate will come from PAS or Bersatu is still under negotiation.

“There is no decision yet,” he told Malaysiakini when asked about the PN menteri besar candidate for the state.

Roslan was also asked if the coalition has the names to put forward as menteri besar candidates.

“We haven’t got there yet, (it is still) in negotiations,” he added.

Yesterday, Kedah PAS confirmed that Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor will be PN’s “poster boy” to face the state election there.

Kedah PAS secretary Musodak Ahmad explained that the people’s support for Sanusi along with his performance was the basis for his appointment as a “poster boy”.

“So far, that’s how it is,” he told Malaysiakini.

Last Saturday, Sanusi, who is also PN’s election director, said the coalition’s menteri besar candidates would be its “poster boys” in the six state elections.

Kelantan, Kedah, Terengganu, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, and Penang are expected to hold state polls in the next few months.

Meanwhile, Bersatu sources also confirmed that the coalition was still discussing who would be their candidate for Selangor menteri besar. 

“There are no names that can be mentioned for now.

“However, we already have some candidates chosen,” the source said. - Mkini
