The Machang MP claimed this would make it much easier for Perikatan Nasional (PN) to win the state elections in Kelantan and Terengganu.

“We welcome this strategy. I really hope they use the ‘dacing’ logo, as it’s been proven that if you use that logo in the east coast and Malay heartlands, we will make a clean sweep of all the seats,” he told reporters outside the Dang Wangi police headquarters.

BN deputy chairman Mohamad Hasan previously said BN will consider allowing its allies in the government to use its logo in the upcoming state elections.

Previously, Ketereh Amanah chief Che Ibrahim Mohamed suggested that PH contest under the BN banner in Kelantan and Terengganu as PH’s symbol was not widely accepted in the two states.

The state assemblies of Kelantan, Terengganu, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang and Kedah are expected to be dissolved in the second half of June to pave the way for elections.

Wan Fayhsal also rubbished Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s claim that PN will eventually break up, saying the BN chairman was “scared” of the Muhyiddin Yassin-led coalition.

He also claimed he found out that Umno grassroots were unhappy with Zahid but were afraid to challenge the party president.

“They will display their anger by sabotaging (BN and PH) in the state elections. They will vote for PN, trust me, because they can’t accept BN and PH (working together),” he said.

Wan Fayhsal also took a jab at Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul, when asked if PN planned to table a motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

He said PN had never discussed tabling a no-confidence motion in the Dewan Rakyat as Johari was “biased, seeing as he comes from PKR”.

He added that other motions he had submitted to Johari previously had been rejected by him.
