PKR hopes that it will get to contest the Segamat parliamentary seat in Johor, to replace its loss of Gelang Patah, which has been given to DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang.
PKR is now in talks with PAS and DAP on the matter, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said at a ceramah in Taman Mega Ria, Johor Bahru, last night.
The DAP fought for the Segamat seat in the 2008 general election and its candidate lost to Human Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam of the MIC by 2,991 votes.Anwar at DAP's 47th anniversary celebration inn Skudai last night named Lim as the Pakatan Rakyat candidate for Gelang Patah.
