JOHOR BAHARU, Oct 7 (Bernama) -- The People's Progressive Party (PPP)
has asked to be given an opportunity to contest at least one seat in
Johor in the 13th general election.
Its president, Datuk Seri M.Kayveas said although the party had never contested any parliamentary seat or state seat in the state before, but he was confident of victory if it was given the opportunity.
"PPP has asked for four parliamentary seats and 12 state seats in the next general election, but if given the opportunity, we would like to contest at least one seat in Johor," he told reporters after attending the Johor PPP Convention in Skudai here Sunday.
Kayveas said PPP would not pressure Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak into making the decision.
In the run up to the general election, he said PPP would be focusing on 'Mission 510', that is recruiting 510 new members in every branch throughout the country and ensuring that they would vote for BN.
Speaking when opening the convention, Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said hard work and collaboration between component parties was the recipe of BN strength in the state and urged all quarters to work together to ensure Johor would remain BN stronghold.
