KOTA BARU – Perikatan Nasional will adopt its formula used in last year’s general election to decide on seat allocations among component parties for the coming polls in six states, said Datuk Nik Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.

The PAS vice-president said his party would defend its seats while Bersatu candidates would contest in areas previously won by Umno.

“This is the basis of our seat negotiations, just like in the last general election,” Nik Amar told reporters after officiating at the Hari Sayyidina Khadijah celebration at the main hall of Pusat Tarbiyah Islamiyah Kelantan here today.

However, the PAS leader said there might be changes in the final stage for certain areas in Kelantan.

Nik Amar, who is Kelantan deputy menteri besar, said the list of prospective candidates in Kelantan had been submitted to Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob, who also heads the state PAS.

Selangor, Penang, Negri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu are due to hold state polls this year. – Bernama, June 1, 2023
