Gerakan mahu tanding 13 kerusi pada pilihan raya mengejut Pulau Pinang

GEORGE TOWN: Gerakan mengesahkan untuk bertanding di 13 kerusi jika pilihan raya mengejut Pulau Pinang diadakan pada bila-bila masa.

Presidennya Datuk Mah Siew Keong berkata parti itu yakin dapat mencatat keputusan lebih baik berbanding pilihan raya lepas kerana Gerakan banyak membangkitkan pelbagai isu berhubung kesejahteraan rakyat Pulau Pinang.

Sebelum ini, Naib Pengerusi Gerakan negeri Oh Tong Keong berkata parti itu akan bertanding di Batu Lancang, Sungai Pinang, Datuk Keramat, Padang Kota, Air Itam, Kebun Bunga, Pulau Tikus, Tanjung Bungah, Batu Uban, Pantai Jerjak, Bukit Tengah, Macang Bubuk dan Tambun jika pilihan raya mengejut itu diadakan.

Kawasan berkenaan adalah kerusi tradisi Gerakan pada pilihan raya sebelum ini, namun, Mah berkata kemungkinan ada perubahan jika parti komponen lain Barisan Nasional (BN) mahu bertukar kerusi.

“Kami akan mengadakan perbincangan mengenai perkara itu jika ia (pilihan raya mengejut) diadakan,” katanya.
