Penang Umno chief Musa Sheikh Fadzir says two or three other seats are still under negotiation. State Umno chief Musa Sheikh Fadzir said the party will look at defending its two seats in Permatang Berangan and Sungai Dua, both of which are within the Tasek Gelugor parliamentary constituency.
“We will also contest in Penaga and Bertam in the Kepala Batas parliamentary constituency, as well as Sungai Acheh and Teluk Bahang in the Nibong Tebal and Balik Pulau parliamentary constituencies,” he told Utusan Malaysia. “I cannot share the status of the one or two more seats that we are currently in discussions about. We expect negotiations to be concluded soon,” he said.
