Agihan kerusi BN-PN wajar ikut kekuatan semasa bukan PRU15, kata pemimpin Umno

Pahang's Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) have agreed that the distribution of seats in the 2026 general election should be based on the current strength of each party, rather than simply replicating the results from the 2015 election, according to Haris Salleh Hamzah, the head of Umno Jerantut. He acknowledged that the previous election's outcome was a factor to consider, but stressed that the political landscape could change based on voter sentiment, current issues, and party acceptance.

He reminded that yesterday's events should be remembered as history, but today's events should be evaluated as reality. He also expressed his willingness to give way to PN, which currently holds the parliamentary seat and district council positions in Jerantut, as well as the Malam, Tahan, and Pulau Tawar parliamentary seats, if BN were to cooperate with a coalition in the 2026 election.

PAS Pahang's leader, Rosli Abdul Jabar, said the party was open to discussing seat allocations with Umno.
