PN open to seat swaps with BN, says Samsuri
The PN chairman says there is plenty of room for discussion since the Melaka state election hasn't even been called yet.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition head Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has expressed openness to swapping seats with Barisan Nasional (BN) for the upcoming Melaka state election, according to Utusan Malaysia. Samsuri clarified that formal discussions between the two coalitions have not commenced yet, as the election has not been called. He emphasized that PN is willing to engage in any form of negotiation, and if both parties are ready to talk, PN is equally prepared.
Samsuri stressed that the negotiations must focus on establishing a stable state government following the election. Meanwhile, BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi reiterated that BN remains open to seat allocation negotiations for the Melaka polls, provided the allies involved are honest and sincere. Zahid also reiterated that BN intends to defend all 21 seats it won in the previous election, currently holding 20 after a member switched to PAS. The Melaka state assembly consists of 28 seats.
