THE Registrar of Societies must confirm if Perikatan Nasional is officially registered for the coalition to contest under its banner in the Sabah polls, said a PKR leader today.

PKR deputy youth chief Syed Badli Shah Syed Osman said his checks at the RoS website did not show PN as a registered entity.

He said he last checked at 2.22am on September 14.

“I urge the RoS to clarify the status of PN’s registration. If it is true that PN is yet to be registered, then it means all its candidates for the Sabah state elections can’t contest under the banner, and should have their candidacy nulled,” he said in a statement.

PN, made up of Bersatu, SAPP and STAR, is contesting 29 seats in the Sabah polls.

PN is also part of a bigger pact called Gagasan Rakyat Sabah of which Barisan Nasional and PBS are members.

Bersatu vice-president Abdul Rashid Asari said on August 10 that PN has officially submitted its application to RoS for registration. – September 14, 2020.
