PETALING JAYA: Gerakan is expected to contest about 30 seats in the upcoming state elections, says its president, Dominic Lau.
Lau said the party has finalised selection of about 90% of its candidates.
“Thirty seats have been chosen for Gerakan to contest in Kedah, Penang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan,” he said, according to Utusan Malaysia.
He said discussions among the Perikatan Nasional component parties were ongoing for seats in Kelantan and Terengganu.
“We (Gerakan) do not mind not contesting in these two states because our main goal is to ensure PN’s victory in the upcoming elections,” he said.
However, he said, seat negotiations would continue until nominations day.
Previously, Lau had stated that his party hoped to field candidates in the six state elections and had submitted 70 names to PN’s supreme council for consideration.
