Gerakan to use PN logo in GE15

Gerakan candidates will use the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo when contesting in the 15th general election (GE15), said party president Dominic Lau Hoe Chai.

He told reporters this when met after launching the Bayan Baru PN operations room in George Town, Penang, today, adding that the decision was made after the PN central meeting last week.

Apart from Gerakan, PN also comprises PAS, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star), and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).

Lau said Gerakan intended to contest five of the 13 parliamentary seats in Penang using the PN logo, namely Jelutong, Bayan Baru, Bukit Bendera, Tanjung, and Batu Kawan.

“We will announce the candidates simultaneously with the other states soon,” he said, adding that 80 percent of candidates to be fielded by Gerakan are new faces.

Meanwhile, Penang Gerakan chairperson Oh Tong Keong said the party would announce its candidates for Penang at the end of this month.

Gerakan controlled Penang for 39 years, since 1969, and joined BN as a component party after 1974.

Gerakan’s rule in Penang ended after losing to Pakatan Rakyat in GE12 in 2008, and the party left BN in 2018 after losing all the seats it contested nationwide.
