#portdicksonbyelection

UPDATED 1.55PM | The EC budgets RM3.6 million to run the polls and sets a 14-day campaign period.

COMMENT | Should Anwar win the seat, he will be expected to develop the coastal town.

'Port Dickson is not a winnable seat but we must fight this shameless political entitlement,' says Khairy. 

It highlights the opaque candidate selection process due to the 'rigidity' of FPTP, the group says.

He also urges PKR members to get rid of leaders who are no longer committed to the struggle.

Bersatu Youth chief says that of paramount importance is a Harapan win in the seat. 

LETTER | I would say that the Port Dickson move is not only necessary, but also important.

MP SPEAKS | Lim Guan Eng pledges to mobilise DAP's machinery to ensure Anwar's win in Port Dickson.

PAS MUKTAMAR | Despite announcement they will sit it out, he won't discount PAS jumping in if Umno won't contest.

UPDATED 3PM | 'I always celebrate differences in opinion,' insists the Umno president.

The move will seal the plan to have Anwar succeed Mahathir, says Liew Chin Tong.

Undeterred by PD Bersatu’s stand, Abdullah Sani is determined to stump for Anwar.

YOURSAY | 'PKR should not take for granted the voters' sentiment, which can swing against Harapan.'

Amirudin Shari bases this on Port Dickson's past elections.

The division also warns Abdullah Sani not to hit the campaign trail for the by-election.

LETTER | They will decide whether Anwar can be their, and our, "rightest” choice for the next five years.

Views of all party leaders should've been considered, but focus must now be on securing the seat, PKR deputy president adds. 

LETTER | Why didn’t Nazri join Anwar, PKR and Harapan before GE14 to fight against Umno/BN just like what Dr M did?

Nazri Aziz claims this enables the party president to negotiate with other parties in the bid for federal power.

State Harapan chair and Negeri MB Aminuddin Harun, says he will appeal to outside voters to return to vote. 

He says he will continue with his services there and urges them to support Harapan.

He claims he will do this as part of his efforts to align Umno with PKR.

LETTER | I feel the elitist forces in this country are just too afraid of Anwar moving closer to become the next PM.

'He was jailed for like, 10, 11 years, and now you all are saying he is impatient?'
