BN to announce candidates list this week, says Najib

The list of Barisan Nasional candidates for the 13th general election would be announced this week, said its chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He said the process of finalising the list of candidates for the coalition had yet to be completed.
"...yet to be finalised. Will be announced in a few days' time," he told reporters after meeting Barisan representatives at the Putra World Trade Centre.
Najib, who is Barisan chairman, said the process of selecting and allocating seats for the polls would take into account the results of the 2008 general election and the current demographic condition in each constituency.
"Basically, we use the 2008 template with slight changes based on the results of the 2008 general election...how the BN will boost its chances of winning," he said.
