KOTA BARU: Dropped incumbent MPs from Barisan Nasional (BN) Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim and Datuk Seri Ismail Abdul Muttalib, have not yet joined PAS or any Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) component party, despite the fact that they are defending their respective Arau and Maran seats on PN’s ticket in the 15th General Election (GE15).
PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the election regulations did not compel any candidate to be a member of a party to be eligible to contest.
