PETALING JAYA: PKR and PAS have resolved issues pertaining to seven overlapping seats for the general election.
Speaking at a press conference held at the party headquarters, PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim said that his party would relinquish its demand for the three state seats in Terengganu.
“PAS will retain the state seats of Bukit Besi, Seberang Takir and Kota Putera in Terengganu.
“In return, we will get the Labuan parliamentary seat and the state seats of Sungai Acheh in Penang and Panti in Johor,” he said.
During nomination on Saturday, PAS and PKR fielded their respective candidates in seven seats, ensuring a fight among the allies in Pakatan Rakyat.
