PERIKATAN Nasional (PN) will adopt the formula used in the last general election to decide on seat allocations among components for the six state polls this year, PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said.

He said PAS would defend its seats, while Bersatu candidates would contest in areas won by Umno previously.

“This is the basis of our seat negotiations, just like in the last general election,” he told reporters after officiating an event at Dewan Besar of Pusat Tarbiyah Islamiyah Kelantan today.

However, Amar said there may be changes in the final stages for certain areas in Kelantan.

Amar, who is Kelantan deputy menteri besar, said the list of prospective candidates in the state has been submitted to Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob, who is Kelantan PAS commissioner.

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