Kelantan PN allocates nine seats to PAS, five to Bersatu

The Kelantan Perikatan Nasional (PN) has allocated nine seats to PAS and five to Bersatu in the 15th general election (GE15), said state PN secretary Wan Roslan Wan Hamat.

He said the contesting candidates will be announced this Wednesday (Nov 2) by the state PN chairperson and Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium's Dataran Warisan.

Roslan added that all PN candidates who will contest the 14 parliamentary seats in Kelantan will use the PAS logo as previously agreed.

“All PAS candidates have been vetted by the Shura Ulama Council and (as well as) Bersatu candidates as announced by its president Muhyiddin Yassan,” he said at a special press conference announcing the date of the Kelantan PN candidate announcement today.

When asked whether PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and its secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan would defend their respective seats, Wan Roslan said the matter had not been finalised.

“The contesting candidates' selection will be finalised soon. The cooperation between PAS and Bersatu is also strong, we will organise the work immediately after the nomination of candidates.

“Insya-Allah, PAS will place machinery that will work hard for all seats,” he said.

In GE14, Tuan Ibrahim won the Kubang Kerian parliamentary seat with a majority of 19,369 votes while Takiyuddin won the Kota Bharu parliamentary seat with a majority of 5,869 votes.

Commenting further, Wan Roslan said the coalition aims to sweep all parliamentary seats, including Jeli, through cooperation between all parties in the Kelantan PN.
