The coalition’s chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said 63% of the candidates will be fresh faces.
He also said that some of the candidates that would be fielded were those who had previously opposed him.
Zahid, who is the Umno president, said they would not insult or demean their rivals on the campaign trail.
“We want to highlight what BN and the unity government can offer voters,” he said when announcing BN’s candidates at the World Trade Centre, here.
Also present were MCA and MIC presidents Wee Ka Siong and SA Vigneswaran respectively. The two components will be sitting out the polls.
