PETALING JAYA: Not contesting in the upcoming Sarawak state election remains an option, Perikatan Nasional says.
The coalition information chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa said this on Facebook following the same stance being taken by Barisan Nasional.
“Barisan is not joining the Sarawak state election. PN will determine its stance in a while.
“Not contesting is also an option,” he wrote on Facebook.
This follows Barisan chairman and Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi saying that it would not contest in the upcoming elections as per promised to Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).
“Barisan has no intention of contesting any seats in the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly.
“This is based on the understanding between Umno and PBB in Sarawak. Umno and Barisan have never had any intention of fielding candidates in the Sarawak state elections,” said Ahmad Zahid.
The upcoming Sarawak state polls are scheduled for Dec 12, following nominations on Nov 28.
