PETALING JAYA: Selangor Pakatan Harapan has vowed to continue working with the Barisan Nasional leadership in the run-up to the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election after two of the coalition’s component parties set conditions to help with the campaign.
“We want to maintain the momentum of the unity government in the state,” Selangor PH election director Ng Sze Han told FMT.
BN and PH formed the unity government in Selangor following the state election in August last year.
Earlier tonight, MCA said it will sit out the by-election campaign if the unity coalition did not field a BN candidate for the by-election on May 11.
MCA will join MIC on the sidelines, after MIC president SA Vigneswaran also said his party was not taking part in any way.
Selangor PH previously said it would field a candidate from DAP to defend the seat that fell vacant following the death of its assemblyman, Lee Kee Hiong, from cancer last month.
Ng said Selangor PH respected the decisions by MCA and MIC.
Meanwhile, Selangor DAP organising secretary Lau Weng San expressed hope that MCA and MIC supporters in Kuala Kubu Baharu will support the unity government on polling day to ensure that Selangor and the country continue to be administered by those who “care for peace and harmony”.
Nominations for the by-election will be held on April 27. - FMT
