PN sasar 6 kerusi di Melaka, beri amaran pengundi ‘putih’ bukan jaminan

Perikatan Nasional (PN) is considering contesting six seats in the upcoming Malay Peninsula's National Election (PRN), in coalition with Barisan Nasional (BN), though formal seat allocation discussions have yet to commence, according to PN Deputy Leader Idris Ahmad. He noted PAS will not seek seats that do not align with its strength and warned against any party assuming they still have "white" voters, who are no longer reliable indicators.

PAS deputy president also pointed out Malaysia's politics are increasingly unpredictable due to voters changing their support between elections. The unpredictable nature extends to younger voters, whose support is hard to predict. PAS also warned against unrealistic demands for specific seats, instead emphasizing that the allocation process will consider data, political climate, and public acceptance.

For PN, around five to six seats are feasible, contingent on their internal strength. They do not wish to over-pursue seats that are not proportionate to their power. While BN will retain 21 seats won in the previous PRN for Melaka, they remain open to collaborating with other political groups. Idris noted that the customary practice of allowing contestants to retain their seats during negotiations should be re-examined, as the formula is untested due to the unprecedented nature of the current scenario. The most crucial aspect is avoiding a breakdown in relations.
