BN rejects Perikatan request for additional seats in Melaka election

Barisan Nasional (BN) will uphold its agreement to allocate seven seats to Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the Melaka state election, despite discussions about contesting additional seats.

BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi affirmed the commitment to the established pact, allowing PN to manage the distribution of these seats among its component parties.

This decision follows finalized negotiations on a political understanding, with BN contesting 21 seats.

Key election dates set by the Election Commission include October 31 for nomination and November 14 for polling.

MELAKA, Oct 24 — Barisan Nasional (BN) will stick to its agreement to allocate seven seats it is not contesting to Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the Melaka state election, despite attempts to secure additional seats.

BN chairman and Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the allocation had been agreed upon under a mutual agreement, which BN would honour.

“I have heard about efforts to seek additional seats, but we already have a pact, an agreement to allow them to contest the seven seats BN is not contesting, which we have left to PN’s component parties to distribute among themselves.

“That is the decision for now, and we will stand by what we have mutually agreed upon,” he told reporters after the Ulul Albab Huffaz Graduation and Excellence Appreciation Ceremony here today.

Yesterday, PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man was reported as saying that PN hoped to hold negotiations to secure an additional one or two seats in addition to the seven announced earlier.

Ahmad Zahid had previously confirmed that negotiations on a political understanding with PAS had been finalised, with BN to contest 21 seats while the remaining seven would be allocated to PAS and its political allies.

The Election Commission (EC) has set October 31 for nomination, November 10 for early voting and November 14 for polling in the state election. — Bernama
