GEORGE TOWN, July 28 — The Perikatan Nasional tussle for the Bayan Lepas seat in Penang between its two component parties continued today with a state PAS leader accusing Gerakan president Datuk Dominic Lau Hoe Chai of deception.

He was responding to Lau’s denial of using connections to be named the PN candidate for the Bayan Lepas state seat, pointing out that the Gerakan man sits on the coalition’s powerful presidential council. The PAS politician claimed Lau had promised that Gerakan would not contest any of the 15 Malay-majority seats.

“PAS and Bersatu did not submit any candidates for the six mixed seats Gerakan asked for to fulfil the promises made during the seat division meeting,” he said. Anas Soffy claimed that Lau later changed his mind, from running for Teluk Ayer Tawar to Bayan Lepas.
