PN may use PAS logo in Melaka polls if suspension remains
Takiyuddin Hassan says PAS has no qualms with other components using its logo, although Bersatu will contest under its own emblem.
Perikatan Nasional (PN), led by the Islamic opposition party PAS, could choose to contest the upcoming Melaka polls under PAS's logo if the coalition remains suspended by the Registrar of Societies, says PN's secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan. PAS, the largest party in the coalition, holds 43 parliamentary seats and 146 state seats.
Takiyuddin stated that PN has no objections to other parties using its logo, although Bersatu has been specifically requested to contest under its own logo. He emphasized that choosing a logo for the Melaka polls is not a crucial issue, as all PN parties could use the same logo to demonstrate unity. The Election Commission will determine the key dates for the Melaka polls on October 7, following the dissolution of the state assembly on the same day.
The RoS suspended PN over a complaint filed by Bersatu, giving the coalition 30 days to respond. PAS, as the dominant component of PN, chairs the coalition through vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
