"We raised the issues faced (in the BN supreme council meeting) yesterday.

"Najib announced that principly, the parties can make objections, and that BN allows this," he told reporters at the party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

He said the party will gather 100 voters from each constituency it intends to submit objections, to do so.

Other areas proposed for redelineation which Gerakan will protest as it has significant impact on the party includes Beruas in Perak, Bachang in Melaka and Ketari in Pahang.
