PAS and Bersatu, as the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, expect to contest over 40 seats in the upcoming Johor state election on March 12, said PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

Overall, PN is expecting to contest in all 56 state constituencies, he added.

“The party machinery has made preparations for this state election and allocation of seats will be done as best as possible as there are still a couple of other parties in PN.

“The rest (of the seats will be for) the other component parties in PN,” he said.

He was speaking to reporters today after a working visit in Kota Bharu, Kelantan for the National Non-Revenue Water Programme.

Tuan Ibrahim (above) said seat allocations between PAS and Bersatu had yet to be finalised by the Johor PN state election main committee, which will determine the number of seats both parties will contest in.

"We have also agreed that there will be one operations room for PAS and Bersatu at each location to ease planning and party efforts,” he added.

The Election Commission has set March 12 as the polling day for the Johor state election with nominations on Feb 26, while early voting will take place on March 8.
