Saifuddin hints at defending Kulim-Bandar Baharu seat
PKR’s Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said seat negotiations with Muda and PSM would be sorted out this weekend.
PETALING JAYA: PKR’s Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has hinted that he will be defending the Kulim-Bandar Baharu parliamentary seat in the coming general election.
Without going into details, he said there was a likelihood that he would defend the seat he won with a 4,860-vote majority in 2018, Bernama reported.
“I leave it to the party leadership as to whether I will be contesting,” he was quoted as saying.
Saifuddin, who is also Pakatan Harapan secretary-general, also said that the seat allocations among the coalition’s components had been completed.
Seat negotiations with Muda and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) would be finalised by this Saturday, he said.
Muda has agreed to PH’s three conditions in agreeing to an electoral pact, which includes their backing for PH’s prime ministerial candidate.
The other two conditions are that no party would demand to contest in seats held by their respective incumbents and that Muda will need to obtain the PH presidential council’s permission if it wanted to work with other parties.
PSM, on the other hand, has requested to contest in the Sungai Siput parliamentary seat, which was held by Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj.
