WARISAN will be contesting six of the 15 state seats and all three parliamentary seats in Perlis in the general election (GE), said Perlis Warisan chairman Abdul A’zib Saad. 

He said the parliamentary seats are Arau, Padang Besar and Kangar, while the state seats would be announced after getting approval from party president Mohd Shafie Apdal. 

“The list of the candidates has been submitted to the party leadership and will be announced in two or three days,” he said when contacted by Bernama today. 

Warisan was launched in Perlis by Shafie in June and the GE will be the first time the Sabah-based party will be contesting in Perlis. 

Perlis has 15 state seats and prior to the dissolution of the state assembly on October 14, 10 of the seats were held by Barisan Nasional, three by PKR and two by PAS. 

The Election Commission has set November 19 as GE polling day, while nomination is on November 5 and early voting on November 15. – Bernama, October 21, 2022.
