PH chairman and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said PKR will field 20 candidates in Selangor, 13 in Penang, 10 in Kedah, six each in Negeri Sembilan and Kelantan, and three in Terengganu.
PH component parties DAP and Amanah are expected to name their candidates over the next few days.
The nomination day for the state elections is on July 29.
Meanwhile, Anwar also announced that former Terengganu PKR chief Azan Ismail will contest the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat by-election, to be held simultaneously with the state election.
The by-election is being called following the decision by the Terengganu election court on June 27 to nullify the victory of PAS’ Ahmad Amzad Hashim at the 15th general election (GE15) last November on grounds that corruption had taken place with the aim of influencing voters in the election for the seat.
