GEORGE TOWN: With Penang officially announcing its planned date of dissolution – on June 28 – the jostling for seats among component parties in the unity government hots up.

With incumbency being the main criteria, only five seats are up for grabs – Penaga which was won by PAS and Seberang Jaya, Sungai Acheh, Bertam and Teluk Bahang, which are now under Perikatan Nasional’s Bersatu.
