Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be campaigning for Pakatan
Harapan in the Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar by-elections on the Citizens’
Declaration platform, an ally of the former prime minister and Umno president
said today.
According to former Umno Batu Kawan chief Datuk Khairuddin
Abu Hassan, Dr Mahathir would be aliasing with the federal opposition bloc as
he cannot allow the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition led by Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak to secure a win in the June 18 polls.
“Tun Mahathir will definitely campaign in Sungai Besar and
Kuala Kangsar on his stand that he cannot allow BN to win,” he told reporters
when met at the Sungai Besar nomination centre here today.
Khairuddin, who was seated in the Pakatan Harapan tent,
however refused to state if Dr Mahathir would be campaigning specifically under
the Pakatan Harapan banner.
“Tun Mahathir would be campaigning indirectly under the
Citizens’ Declaration banner. He will campaign at Pakatan Harapan events on the
Citizens Declaration platform,” he added, referring to the petition by the Save
Malaysia movement headed by Dr Mahathir that seeks Najib’s resignation.
“He would be helping Pakatan Harapan on the virtue of saving
Malaysia,” said Khairuddin.
Pakatan Harapan is contesting both federal by-elections
through Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), a newly formed party comprising moderates
who left PAS.
The parliamentary Sungai Besar by-election in Selangor will
see a three-way contest between BN’s Budiman Mohd Zohdi, PAS’ Dr Rani Osman and
Amanah’s Azhar Shukur.
The federal Kuala Kangsar by-election in Perak will see a
four-way fight between BN’s Mastura Mohd Yazid, PAS' Dr Najihatussalehah Ahmad,
Amanah's Ahmad Termizi Ramli and, independent
Izat Bukhary Ismail Bukhary.
