Perikatan Nasional (PN) intends to contest in all 14 Parliament seats and 42 state seats in Pahang in the coming 15th general election (GE15), said Pahang PN chairperson Saifuddin Abdullah.
As preparation, he said discussions on seat allocations between parties in PN, namely Bersatu, PAS, and Gerakan are at the initial stage with each party sending two representatives to the talk which was held in a cordial environment.
“The three parties agree that there should be an initial discussion and the small group would discuss candidly to work out the seat allocation formula for GE15.
"For the time being, the gist on the seats to be contested by the parties involved have to be referred to the respective party committees before it is finalised,” Saifuddin (above) said.
The Pahang Bersatu chief said this in a media conference after attending the Indera Mahkota Bersatu division annual conference at Kompleks Dagangan Mahkota in Kuantan yesterday.
Asked about the relations between Pahang Bersatu and PAS following the close ties the party has with Pahang Umno which led to the setting up of Muafakat Nasional in the Cameron Highlands by-election, Saifuddin said they (Bersatu and PAS) have strong relations.
As preparation for GE15, the foreign minister said the priority of Pahang Bersatu at the moment is to heed the call of party president Muhyiddin Yassin to set up many branches and increase membership to prepare the party’s machinery.
