PH puts Amirudin in charge of Melaka seat talks with BN

In a recent development, the PKR chairman, Anwar Ibrahim, has appointed his election director, Amirudin Shari, to handle the intricacies of collaboration between the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) parties leading up to the upcoming Malacca state election. Anwar, who serves as the Prime Minister, affirmed that Amirudin was entrusted with the responsibility of examining the matter and finalizing the terms of the proposed cooperation.

During a recent meeting with Amirudin, who also serves as Selangor's Menteri Besar, the discussions reportedly touched upon seat allocation for the Malacca state election.

Anwar clarified that the meeting with Amirudin, Selangor's Menteri Besar, was primarily focused on discussions related to the 2026 Malaysia Games (Sukma), rather than political negotiations. He emphasized that cooperation remains vital for both political alliances and the broader administration of government, stating, "There is always room for cooperation. In this life, we have to cooperate. It is all about cooperation."

This appointment marks a significant step in PH's preparations for the Malacca state election, as the coalition collaborates with the BN parties to determine the terms of the cooperation and the distribution of seats.
