However, the opposition coalition only announced the candidates for 39 seats tonight, with the candidate for the Bayan Lepas seat to be revealed at a later date.
Meanwhile, the seat that would be contested by Penang PN chief Dominic Lau would also be announced tomorrow, according to his aide.
Earlier today, it was reported that Bayan Lepas PAS would stage a protest against Lau should he contest the Malay-majority seat.
The seat had been contested by PAS since the 12th general election, and voters are demanding for a Malay candidate, according to Kosmo.
Penang PAS chief Fauzi Yusof said the Islamic party would be contesting in 10 seats, three of which were non-Malay-majority seats. The candidates for these three seats will be from the party’s non-Muslim supporters wing.
“We want 10-0 (to win all seats),” said Fauzi.
“We don’t want to be overconfident, but we will work hard until Aug 12 to ensure that the people give all our candidates a mandate.”
Gerakan will contest 18 seats while Bersatu will contest 11.
