The peaceful outpost of Kuala Kubu Baru is about to be stirred and shaken in a by-election that could reflect the swirling political sentiments in Selangor.
SEREMBAN: Political parties in the unity government have an understanding that the candidate in any by-election will be from the party which won the seat in the last general election, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan .
Elaborating, Mohamad, who is also Umno deputy president said if an elected representative under the unity government dies, the candidate who would be contesting the seat in the ensuing by-election would be from the same party. The party's political development committee announced the decision via a statement after a meeting at the party headquarters on Friday .Prior to this MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran had also hinted the same, adding that the party would only help to campaign in elections involving Barisan candidates.
"Since our friends in the unity government had helped one another then, we should continue with this cooperation.Mohamad said helping to campaign for a candidate representing the unity government did not mean that the parties had merged."We need to continue with this cooperation so that there will be no problems," he said.He said the understanding was that the seat would be contested by Pakatan and it would be up to the coalition to decide who to field.
Mohamad said MCA's and MIC's decision not to campaign would be discussed at a Barisan meeting to be held before the nomination for the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election.
