MELAKA, Oct 30 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) has postponed announcing its candidate for one remaining state seat allocated to the coalition under an understanding with Barisan Nasional (BN) for the 16th Melaka state election.
Its chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar said the delay was due to several outstanding matters, not a lack of qualified candidates.
“We have one seat for which we have yet to announce a candidate, but this is not because we lack suitable candidates. There are matters that need to be resolved, which is why we did not announce the name tonight.
“We will settle all the seats by nomination day,” he told reporters at a press conference after PN's candidate announcement ceremony at Dewan Muallim Haji Abdul Wahid, Bukit Katil, here last night.
