The leadership council (MPT) member said that if Umno decided to field candidates in those seats, they would have no choice but to take on the challenge. PKR has also said it will be targeting seats held by its defectors who jumped to PPBM.

“We accept Umno’s position which has been clearly made known. We reiterate our readiness to fight for every seat, just as they (Umno) have stated they will field candidates in all parliamentary seats.

“The important thing now is that PPBM’s political bureau is planning our workflow in that direction, so that we are better prepared to face GE15 and what is decided will be submitted to the MPT for confirmation,” he told reporters after conducting a “Pak Wan Prihatin Tour” programme in Kampung Pantai Belimbing, Durian Tunggal here, today.

Redzuan, who is also minister with special functions, said this was among the matters discussed at the MPT meeting yesterday after looking into statements made at the Umno general assembly last week.

Commenting on whether ties between Umno and PPBM could be mended before GE15, Redzuan, who is also known as Pak Wan, said it would depend on whether Umno could elect a new leadership line-up to restore the party’s original struggle.
