State polls: Bersatu candidates from party's wings - Ahmad Faizal

 

Bersatu will ensure that the party candidates contesting the upcoming elections in six states are selected from its wings.

Its deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu said this would include candidates from its youth wing and also the party's women's wing.

“However, we have yet to set a specific percentage. What is important is that we want to ensure that the candidates selected are of quality.

“When we form the government they will add value to the state government after the polls,” he said after attending an event related to the upcoming Kelantan state election today, which was also attended by the state Bersatu chairperson Kamaruddin Md Noor.

Commenting further, Faizal said that Bersatu may field new faces who have never contested, in addition to experienced candidates who have served in the government.

He said Bersatu is currently in the process of finalising the entire distribution of the seats of Perikatan Nasional component parties, before announcing the candidates who will represent the party in the upcoming state polls.
