PN-BN pact could lift Perak win chances to 75pct, says Samsuri
TAIPING: Perikatan Nasional (PN) could see its chances of winning in Perak rise to about 75 per cent if it reaches an electoral pact with Barisan Nasional (BN), said PN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
Perikatan Nasional chairman Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar believes a coalition between his party and Barisan Nasional could boost Perak's election prospects to 75%, up from the current 48%. Such a partnership could secure between 32 and 38 out of 59 state seats in Perak, while the People's Justice Party might win 21 to 27 seats. The six seats most likely to change hands are Tualang Sekah, Hulu Kinta, Tebing Tinggi, Sungai Rapat, Hutan Melintang, and Teja.
However, Samsuri acknowledged that cooperation between the two parties would face challenges, such as potential voter split and deciding which party should contest each seat. Samsuri stressed that both parties need to adopt a "give and take" approach and discuss their priorities to ensure a stable government post-election. He also highlighted that political dynamics vary between states, making cooperation a unique model for each region.
