PKR, Amanah to contest 20 seats each, DAP 16 in Johor

Amanah president Mohamad Sabu says his party and PKR will contest in seats with a mixed racial composition, and DAP in the urban areas.


PETALING JAYA: PKR and Amanah will each contest in 20 seats while DAP will contest in 16 seats in the upcoming Johor elections.

Amanah president Mohamad Sabu said the decision on the seat distribution was finalised yesterday.

However, he said, the choice of the candidates was in the final stage of discussions.

“After this, the three parties will discuss again to finalise the distribution with other parties that want to contest with Pakatan Harapan, including Muda, Pejuang and Warisan,” Harian Metro quoted him as saying in Permas Jaya, Johor, today.

Mohamad said Johor PH would make the official announcement when all matters had been finalised.

He said PKR and Amanah would contest in seats with a mixed racial composition, while DAP would focus on the urban areas.

Asked to comment on calls by certain quarters for PH to join hands with Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the elections, Mohamad said the matter had not been discussed by the PH presidential council so far.

He said there were also no requests from other parties, including PN, to join forces with PH in the polls.

On the decision by the PH presidential council to allow PKR to use its own logo, and Amanah and DAP the PH logo in the elections, he said it was not an issue.

He said the opposition had used different logos in the general elections since 1990 and only used the same logo in the 14th general election.
