The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) will come up with respective manifestos for each of the five seats allocated to the party in the 13th general election.

Its president, M Kayveas, said the pledges in each manifesto of  a parliamentary constituency and four state seats would differ, according to the importance and needs of the people in the respective areas.

“Each manifesto will have eight points on why they (the voters) should choose Barisan Nasional (BN) (over the opposition), and also the promise to enhance their living standard,” he said.

Kayveas, who is one of the five candidates, said this at a press conference where he introduced the candidates at the party’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

The candidates are Federal Territory PPP chairperson A Chandrakumanan for the Kepong parliamentary seat; Senator Chiw Tiang Chai for Kota Laksamana (Malacca); Kayveas for Pasir Bedamar (Perak); PPP vice-president Maglin Dennis D’Cruz for Kota Alam Shah (Selangor); and PPP vice-president Nik Sapeia Nik Yusoff for Guchil (Kelantan).

Kayveas said the party would try hard to recapture some of the seats allocated for the betterment of the people in the country.
