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) parties may choose to contest the upcoming Melaka polls under the PAS logo if the coalition remains suspended by the Registrar of Societies (RoS), according to Takiyuddin Hassan. Hassan, who serves as the secretary-general for both PN and PAS, affirmed that his party would not have any issues with other parties utilizing the PAS logo.
Although Bersatu has been specifically requested to contest under its own logo, the significance of which logo PN uses in the Melaka elections is deemed inconsequential, according to Hassan. He emphasized that all components could use the same logo to present a united front, thereby eliminating any concerns about one of the PN party's logos being adopted by all components, including PAS or others.
These are potential options for PN if it continues to be suspended when the Melaka election nominations are submitted. The Election Commission is scheduled to meet on October 7 to determine the critical dates for the Melaka polls, following the dissolution of the state assembly on Wednesday. The RoS suspended PN on the same day the Melaka legislature was dissolved, following a complaint filed by Bersatu.
PN, led by PAS through its vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, holds the most seats in the coalition, with 43 parliamentary seats and 146 state seats.
