KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — The Information Chief of Perikatan Nasional (PN), Tan Sri Annuar Musa, has announced that PN will decide its stance on participating in the forthcoming Sarawak state election soon. In a Facebook post, Annuar mentioned that Barisan Nasional (BN) will not take part in the Sarawak polls, and PN might also consider not contesting.
This follows BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's announcement that the coalition will abstain from contesting any seats in the 13th Sarawak state election. Zahid, serving as Umno president and Deputy Prime Minister, clarified that this decision stems from an existing understanding between Umno and Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) in the state.
The Election Commission has designated December 12 as the election day, with nominations slated for November 28.
