PAS tells BN to choose between Perikatan or Pakatan in Melaka

PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang has warned the Barisan Nasional (BN) that it must choose between Perikatan Nasional (PN) or Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the upcoming Melaka state election. Hadi made the statement after high-level discussions about potential cooperation with BN for the Melaka polls were reported by NST. While PN remains confident in its ability to deploy various tactics, Hadi suggested that the BN leadership is divided and hesitant, even though a majority of its leaders agree to continue cooperation with PN.

Hadi explained that both PN and PAS have developed strategies to strengthen the Malay-Muslim political bloc, alongside plans for engaging non-extreme non-Muslim parties. He claimed that Felda, a development arm, is optimistic about the negotiation process and political cooperation ahead of the Melaka election. Hadi noted that the complexities faced during the Johor state election on July 11 appear to have lessened, making the path towards a Melaka alliance more straightforward.
