KANGAR, March 2 – Young people were not marginalised in the selection of Perlis Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates for the upcoming 13th
general election, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Md Isa Sabu(Pic) today. According to him, they were among the 45 names listed for selection as BN candidates for 15 state seats and nine names for the three parliamentary seats.
Whether they were chosen as candidates would be up to the party’s top leadership but Perlis BN did not marginalise the younger generation as candidates, he told reporters, here, when asked to comment on the list of Perlis BN candidates. Md Isa, who is also Perlis BN chairman, said BN listed three names, including local leaders and young people, to be selected as candidates for each state and parliamentary seat.
Perlis’ three parliamentary seats are all held by BN, which also holds 13 of the 15 state seats. The other two state seats were won by PAS in the last general election in 2008.
