KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) says it will field candidates in all 56 state seats in the upcoming Johor state election, following in the footsteps of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH).
However, PN deputy chairman Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the coalition remained open to negotiating with others to avoid clashes among opposition parties.
“PN is ready to contest all seats, but we may be open to holding discussions with several other parties so that opposition parties do not contest against each other,” he said at the PAS headquarters here.
Tuan Ibrahim said PN was prepared to face PH and BN not only in the Johor state election, but also in other states.
PN contested all 56 state seats in the 2022 Johor state election but won only three.
BN formed the state government after winning 40 seats. PH won 12 seats while Muda claimed one.
Last Saturday, Johor BN chairman and menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi announced that the coalition would contest all 56 seats in the state election.
The next day, PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim stressed that the coalition was prepared to contest in all seats at upcoming state and general elections.
However, the PKR president said there was still room for discussions before a final decision was made.
The Johor state assembly will automatically dissolve in April next year if an election is not held before then, after which the polls must be held within 60 days.
