Samsuri hints at Melaka polls within next 2 months
The Perikatan Nasional chairman says PN election workers in Melaka should present themselves as part of a government-in-waiting.
Perikatan Nasional chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has suggested that the upcoming Melaka state election could take place within the next two months. Speaking at a Melaka PAS fundraising dinner, he emphasized that the remaining 60 days before the dissolution of the Melaka assembly should not be taken for granted, as the political landscape in the region remains dynamic.
Samsuri, also a PAS vice-president, urged party election workers to begin preparations promptly, using the limited time wisely. He stressed that the election machinery should operate with the understanding that the election could occur within 60 days, urging party members to present themselves as a government-in-waiting and be prepared to assume control of the state government.
While Samsuri did not explicitly rule out forming alliances with other parties, he noted that the Barisan Nasional is currently discussing an electoral pact with either PN or Pakatan Harapan, following their recent success in the Negeri Sembilan polls. The current Melaka assembly is set to expire on December 30, and an election must be held within 60 days of its dissolution.
