KOTA BHARU:
Kelantan Perikatan Nasional (PN) has allocated nine seats to PAS and five to Bersatu in the 15th general election (GE15).

State PN secretary Wan Roslan Wan Hamat said the candidates contesting would be announced on Wednesday by state PN chairman and menteri besar Ahmad Yakob at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium’s Dataran Warisan here.

He said all PN candidates contesting the 14 parliamentary seats in Kelantan will be using the PAS logo as previously agreed.

“All PAS candidates have been vetted by the Shura Ulama Council,” he said at a press conference here today.

When asked whether PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and its secretary-general, Takiyuddin Hassan, would defend their respective seats, Wan Roslan said the decision on the matter had not been finalised.

“The selection of candidates will be finalised soon. The cooperation between PAS and Bersatu is also strong.”

In GE14, Tuan Ibrahim won the Kubang Kerian parliamentary seat with a majority of 19,369 votes while Takiyuddin won the Kota Bharu parliamentary seat with a majority of 5,869 votes.

Wan Roslan said the coalition aimed to sweep all parliamentary seats, including Jeli, through cooperation among all parties in Kelantan PN.
