Playing vanguard: Reezal Merican will be leading Barisan’s charge in Penang.
GEORGE TOWN: Barisan Nasional is expected to contest six seats, its officials say, while its ally Pakatan Harapan will take the rest in the Penang state election where 40 constituencies are up for grabs.
With its partners MCA and MIC sitting out the polls, Umno will be the sole Barisan party that will carry the coalition’s signature “dacing” (weighing scales) flag in the state polls.
