Kini menurut Jutawan dan Hartawan Saifuddin Nasation, Pkr akan bertanding lebih banyak kerusi dalam PRU 13. Bagaimana pulak tu? Anwar Ibahim juga dalam konvensyen membayangkan, kita calon PRU 12 tidak dicalonkan kali ini, mereka mesti membantu calon baru seperti mana orang lain bekerja untuk mereka dalam PRU 12.
TM tahu Pkr mempunyai senjata sulit untuk PRU akan datang. Senjata sulit Pkr ialah orang baru yang berkedudukan tinggi dalam kerajaan dahulu mereka ialah pesara kerajaan, bekas-bekas pegawai tinggi tentera dan polis.
Di Taiping, Pkr akan meletakkan calonnya baru [ bekas pegawai kerajaan ] tetapi biarlah rahsia buat sementara waktu. Nama ini akan mengejutkan ahli-ahli Pkr sendiri kerana mereka pun tak tahu strategi Anwar, Azmin dan Saifuddin.
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 — PKR has said it will contest more federal seats in the next general election despite already taking the lion’s share of seats and suffering the most number of party defections since 2008.
PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution told The Malaysian Insider although seat negotiations for some states have yet to be finalised, PKR will most likely have “slightly” more candidates running in parliamentary seats than in 2008.
“Although discussions are currently on-going, the numbers on paper so far show that there is a slight addition to the seats which PKR will be contesting.
“This is due to the contribution of Sabah and Sarawak seats which PKR will contest. The seats in peninsula are likely to remain status quo,” he said.
The Machang MP said state-level seat negotiations ended last month, and the PR central leadership was now deliberating and finalising the respective seats and candidates.
“There are currently three categories — clean seats where a candidate is accepted by all parties, incumbent seats where a particular seat was won by, say, PKR but DAP expresses an interest to contest.
“There is also a case of overlapping of seats, whereby a particular seat was not won in the last GE but two or three Pakatan parties have expressed interest in contesting that seat,” Saifuddin added.
He stressed that seat talks among PR’s top guns were coming along “smoothly”, but said that there was no “timeline” as to when the matter would be concluded.
“I am optimistic it can be settled soon,” said the PKR leader.
PR leaders have dispelled talk of squabbling among its state leaders over seat negotiations for the coming polls despite reports of bickering among PR party members, leading to talk of fractures within the pact.
PKR contested 97 federal seats in 2008 while PAS and DAP ran in 66 and 47 respectively.
But PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang had said in September that the party aims to win 60 federal seats in a general election expected soon.
This was after vice-president Salahuddin Ayub said in July the party wanted to contest 80 federal seats.
The Malaysian Insider reported on July 20 that PR leaders were confident that negotiations over state and parliamentary seat allocations by PKR, PAS and the DAP could be finalised by the end of July, ahead of an anticipated early general election.
It is understood, however, that some states have yet to decide on their seat allocations, with Sarawak and Johor being the most problematic.
The Sarawak state election in April saw PKR and the DAP lock horns over several key seats, which resulted in a heavily-publicised row between the leaders of both parties.
Umno has declared it can win back PKR-held seats as the PR linchpin is seen as the weakest link in the opposition pact.
Election 2008 saw PKR become the largest opposition party in Parliament with a total of 31 MPs as BN suffered its worst performance at the polls ever, ceding five state governments and 82 parliamentary seats.
But it failed to defend Hulu Selangor in a by-election and lost a further six MPs who decided to become independent, allowing the DAP to become the biggest opposition party in Parliament with 28 MPs.
PAS, despite being the largest PR party in terms of membership, had the smallest representation in Parliament with only 23 MPs after the polls.
Yang bengong dan tolol ialah Parti Pas kerana mempunyai kekuatan dan suara yang cukup kuat tetapi akan bertanding dalam jumlah paling kecil berbanding Pkr dan Dap. itu pun Pas masih berangan untuk menguasai kabinet kerajaan pakatan.
Pas hanya layak pegang penyapu dan cuci lantai dan cuci tandas sahaja lah.... [ klik ]
