GEORGE TOWN, Oct 26 <\/strong>— Gerakan candidates will use the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo when contesting in the 15th\u00a0General Election (GE15), said its president, Datuk Dr Dominic Lau Hoe Chai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told reporters when met after launching the Bayan Baru PN operations room here today that the decision was made after the PN central meeting last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from\u00a0Gerakan, PN also comprises PAS, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) and\u00a0Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).<\/p>\n\n\n

Lau said Gerakan intended to contest five of the 13 parliamentary seats in Penang using the PN logo, namely Jelutong, Bayan Baru, Bukit Bendera, Tanjung and Batu Kawan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will announce the candidates simultaneously with the other states soon,\u201d he said, adding that 80 percent of candidates to be fielded by Gerakan are new faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Penang Gerakan chairman Oh Tong Keong said the party would announce its candidates for Penang at the end of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerakan controlled Penang for 39 years, since 1969 and joined Barisan Nasional (BN) as a component party after 1974.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerakan’s rule in Penang ended after losing to Pakatan Harapan (PH) in GE12 in 2008, and the party left BN in 2018 after losing all the seats it contested nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
