KELANTAN Perikatan Nasional (PN) has allocated nine seats to PAS and five to Bersatu in the coming general election, its secretary Wan Roslan Wan Hamat said.

He said the candidates will be announced on Wednesday by the state PN chairman and Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob at the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium Dataran Warisan.

He added that all PN candidates who will contest the 14 parliamentary seats in Kelantan will use PAS logo as previously agreed.

“All PAS candidates have been vetted by the Shura Ulama Council and (as well as) Bersatu candidates as announced by PN president Muhyiddin Yassan,” he said at a special press conference announcing the date of the Kelantan PN candidate announcement in Kota Baru today.

When asked whether PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and its secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan would defend their respective seats, Wan Roslan said the decision on the matter had not been finalised.

“The candidate selection will be finalised soon. The cooperation between PAS and Bersatu is also strong, we will organise the work immediately after the nomination of candidates.

“Insya-Allah, PAS will place machinery that will work hard for all seats,” he said.

In the 2018 general election, Tuan Ibrahim won the Kubang Kerian parliamentary seat with a majority of 19,369 votes while Takiyuddin won the Kota Bharu federal constituency with a majority of 5,869 votes.

Wan Roslan said the coalition aims to sweep up all parliamentary seats including Jeli through cooperation between all parties in Kelantan PN. – Bernama, October 30, 2022.
