“We will wait for the right time,” PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin said today after unveiling the coalition’s 28 candidates.

PN lynchpin Bersatu is contesting 15 seats, while coalition partners PAS and Gerakan are contesting eight and five seats respectively.

On whether PN would ask its candidates to sign statutory declarations that they will not defect after the election, Muhyiddin said there were no plans to do this.

“I am confident that the respective party leaders know their candidates and we hope they will remain loyal (to PN) after the election.”

He also said PN had tried to avoid clashes with Barisan Nasional (BN) but the latter’s insistence to contest under its own banner meant a fight was inevitable.

In the Nov 20 election, PN is likely to clash with both BN and Pakatan Harapan in all 28 seats.
