PN sasar 6 kerusi di Melaka, beri amaran pengundi ‘putih’ bukan jaminan
Naib Presiden PAS Idris Ahmad berkata parti itu tidak mahu meminta kerusi yang tidak sepadan dengan kekuatannya ketika berunding dengan BN.
The Perikatan Nasional (PN) is expected to contest six parliamentary seats in the upcoming Melaka PRN, in a coalition with the Barisan Nasional (BN), according to PN's Chief Whip, Idris Ahmad. Despite the formal nomination discussions not yet beginning, Ahmad stated that PAS will not demand seats that do not align with their strength and warns that no party should assume they still have 'white' supporters.
This phenomenon is not unique to Melaka, as it is also occurring in Pahang. Although PN has secured a significant victory in the recent PRN of Negeri Sembilan, they remain sidelined in Parliament. The political landscape is now more unpredictable, as supporters can now choose to vote for different parties in the upcoming general election (PRU).
PN is projected to secure around five or six seats, depending on their strength and public acceptance. The coalition is open to working with other political groups, but not to the detriment of their own strength. Idris emphasized that the customary practice of allowing candidates to retain their seats in negotiations needs to be reconsidered, as this formula is untested and may change due to evolving dynamics in Malaysian politics.
