No problem allocating seats between BN parties, insists Ku Nan
ADS

GE14 | There is no problem between the component parties of BN in the distribution of seats for the 14th general election, said secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

He said BN adopted the consensus method between component parties to determine the candidate to contest in the coming general election.

“There is no problem between the component parties because we are a merger that is bound by consensus.

"Everything we do is based on consensus, all parties must agree because that is our concept,” he told the media at the closing ceremony of the Karnival Kad Ceria in Putrajaya today.

Tengku Adnan disclosed this when commenting on the call by Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (photo) yesterday that BN component parties were avoiding conflicts in determining the seats for election, especially seats traditionally held by certain parties.

"Just because the deputy prime minister said it that way, you have the perception that there are problems between the component parties.

“There is no problem, in fact we discuss with them. If your party can win the seat, then you take (the seat), if you can't then give it to anyone that can win,” he said.

Earlier, Tengku Adnan, who is also the federal territory minister, launched the usage of the Ceria 1WP application at the closing ceremony of Karnival Kad Ceria.

He said that through the application the people could access information on their trading partners and offers of discounts that could be accessed via smartphone.

"A total of 10,086 trading partners are cooperating with the ministry to offer various attractive discounts for holders of the Kad Ceria,” he said.

The three-day carnival beginning on March 30 is an initiative of the ministry in the effort to tackle cost of living issues, and assist city folks in planning and managing their daily expenses prudently.
