PAS vice-president Husam Musa today gave a bright indication that he will contest in the federal administration capital of Putrajaya.

Husam, when met on the sidelines of a Pakatan leadership council meeting, said the party will make the announcement and he rates his chances as slightly above 50 percent (to contest there).

“Yes, there are decisions (already made that I would contest). Let the leaders announce,” he said.

“I think I rate my chances to contest there as slightly above 50 percent,” he said.

It had earlier been reported that the Putrajaya PAS division had wanted Husam to contest there.

NONE If so, Husam is likely to face Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor ( right ), who is likely to defend the seat.

Husam was met after the Pakatan Rakyat leadership council meeting today.

PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng when met on the sidelines said Pakatan has yet to finalise the list of candidates.

"Today's meeting is on other matters. As to the list of candidates, we will discuss this tomorrow," said Mustafa,

Lim said he hoped seat negotiations would be concluded tomorrow but did not rule out that it could go on longer.

Meanwhile PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim indicated that he would discuss with his constituents in Permatang Pauh on his intention to contest in Perak.

Other leaders in the meeting included DAP vice-chairperson M Kulasegaran, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, and PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu, who kept mum when asked where he would be contesting in the general election.
