The PAS grassroots are threatening to boycott the polls after Gerakan president Datuk Dr Dominic Lau was named to contest in the Malay-majority Bayan Lepas state seat.
Lau’s candidacy had been scheduled to be announced with other Perikatan candidates on Wednesday but only 39 of the 40 candidates were named. However, Perikatan secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, in a terse one-liner statement, said the coalition’s presidential council had confirmed Lau as the candidate for the seat.
Kedah Umno liaison chief Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, a former mentri besar and minister, will be up against incumbent Mohd Radzi Md Amin of PAS for the Pedu seat.
