KUCHING: The 11 days between nomination day and polling day is sufficient for campaigning for the 14th general election (GE14), says Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice president Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
In fact, he added, all political parties had been campaigning for months or even years for the election.
“This (11 days campaign) is sufficient because as it is, campaigning by all political parties has started months or even years ago…so it’s good that Election Commission (EC) set aside only 11 days for final campaigning,” Abdul Karim, who is Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports, pointed out.
He was commenting on the announcement by EC that 11 days have been set aside as campaigning period for the GE14, from nomination day on April 28 until the eve of polling day on May 9 (Wednesday).
