PERIKATAN Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin said the coalition will most likely retain all of its parliamentary and state seat incumbents in the 15th general election (GE15). 

Muhyiddin, who is also Bersatu president, said this was necessary based on the winnable candidate principle. 

“Maybe (candidates) one or two constituencies will be reviewed by the PN top leadership and decided upon. But in principle, it is a matter of winnable candidates,” he told a media conference after chairing a Perak PN meeting in Ipoh today.

Also present were Perak PN chairman and Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu, PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin, Perak PAS Commisioner Razman Zakaria and Perak Gerakan chairman See Tean Seng.

Muhyiddin, who is Pagoh MP, also said that PN leadership has also agreed to give more room for respective state party leaderships to provide their input on PN’s manifesto so as to suit local needs. 

“For example, if PN Perak has several matters that it feels needs to be included in their state manifesto, then we will include them,” he said. – Bernama, October 9, 2022.
