“The remaining five seats will be announced before nomination day,” he said.
When it was pointed out that nomination day was only two days away, Baru acknowledged this and remarked that the party was doing its best to finalise its last five candidates.
“The reason for this delay (in announcing the five candidates) is due to the overlapping of seats.
“We want to avoid this and that’s why we will only announce the five seats when it’s finalised,” he explained.
On what are the five seats they will be contesting in, Baru however declined to comment further, stating that the names will be announced soon.
