Perak to announce GE14 manifesto soon
KUALA KANGSAR, April 9 (Bernama) -- The Perak Barisan Nasional (BN) will announce its manifesto for the 14th General Election soon, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
He said the draft of the manifesto was ready but some details had to be refined before it was made public.
"A few matters in the manifesto have to be scrutinised and finalised. We will set the best time to announce it in the near future," he told a press conference at the Kuala Kangsar Municipal Council here today.
Zambry said the Perak BN manifesto was aligned to the BN national manifesto and took into account matters pertaining to the welfare of the people and economic growth of the state.
On the BN candidates for GE14, the Perak BN chairman said he would hold a final discussion on the matter with BN chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak soon.
"The candidates have been identified. Just like in the previous general elections, we will sit together with the BN chairman to finalise the candidates," he said.
Meanwhile, Zambry said he took note of the call by the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, for all politicians to exercise responsibility at all times by giving priority to security, public order and solidarity of the people.
"Insya Allah (God willing), we from the BN will ensure that the election campaign in Perak will be done in the best possible manner. This is our promise," he said.
As such, he called on all parties contesting in Perak to maintain peace and public order and not engage in any provocation that could disrupt the election process.
Zambry also tendered an apology, on behalf of the state executive councillors and state assemblymen, to the people of Perak if there had been any shortcomings during the administration of the state over the past five years.
Earlier, the Menteri Besar attended the ceremony to announce the dissolution today of the 13th Perak legislative assembly at the Istana Iskandariah here.
