Shahidan to run with 'PAS, Bersatu support' to oppose Zahid
- last year
Incumbent Arau MP Shahidan Kassim is puzzling over the symbol he will use to run in the Nov 19 general election.
When contacted by Malaysiakini, the candidate who was dropped by BN said enigmatically that only the "unification of Umno, Bersatu and PAS" ticket was available to him now.
"Competing like this, you can interpret it yourself but I believe that PAS will support me, Umno will support me, Bersatu will support me.
"So what party should I name? Think about it," he added.
The former minister said that his candidacy under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) umbrella was a sign of opposition to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who axed him from defending his seat for BN.
