Fahmi confirms Amirudin met Anwar amid PH-BN seat talks
PUTRAJAYA: Pakatan Harapan communications director Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil has confirmed that the coalition’s election director, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, met with the chairman, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, yesterday.
Pakatan Harapan communications chief Fahmi Fadzil has confirmed that PH election director Amirudin Shari met with BN chairman Anwar Ibrahim yesterday. The meeting occurred during ongoing discussions between the two parties concerning seat allocations for Melaka's election. Fahmi, who serves as Communications Minister, stated that he was aware of the meeting but was not briefed on its contents.
He elaborated on this during a press conference at the handover ceremony for sponsorship contributions to Human Graphics participants, tied to the 2026 National Day celebrations. On Thursday, Anwar had announced that the PH election committee would explore potential collaboration with BN for Melaka's polls. Amirudin and Saifuddin Nasution Ismail were reportedly leading this committee, with Saifuddin previously not dismissing the possibility of meeting Melaka BN chairman Ab Rauf Yusoh to discuss cooperation prior to the state election.
Regarding PH's strategy post-PKR's recent congress in Melaka, Fahmi emphasized the coalition's intent to leverage its current strength while also engaging former leaders and influential personalities. He highlighted Anwar's emphasis on the need to bring back leaders like Tian Chua and Dr Xavier, while also embracing the broader coalition.
