The People’s Progressive Party (PPP), which lost the two seats allocated to it by Barisan Nasional in the 2008 general election, will not be demanding for seats in the next general election, said its president Datuk M. Kayveas.
“We are not going to fight for seats, and the party will adhere to the advice of the prime minister on the seat allocation,” he told reporters after chairing the party’s supreme council meeting at Wisma PPP here today.
However, PPP would identify the niche areas where PPP could win if given the green light to contest, he said.
Kayveas (picture) said he had asked the state party chiefs to identify the parliamentary and state assembly seats which PPP would have a chance to win with BN in the coming elections.
“We will be getting the feedback in a month’s time,” he said, adding that PPP would not interfere if the seats it was interested in were given to the other component parties to contest.
In the last general election, Kayveas failed to defend his Taiping parliamentary seat which he held for one term, when he lost to DAP’s Nga Kor Ming, while Lee Heng, also from PPP, lost the contest for the Pasir Bedamar state seat to DAP’s Seah Leong Peng.
