PH-BN Melaka talks may yield clearer picture by Malaysia Day
PUTRAJAYA: Pakatan Harapan's position on electoral cooperation with Barisan Nasional in the Melaka election could be finalised before Malaysia Day on Sept 16.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) may finalize its position on electoral cooperation with Barisan Nasional (BN) ahead of Malaysia Day on September 16, according to PH Elections Director Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. Discussions with BN are still in the early exploratory stage, with no decisions made yet, but Amirudin believes there could be indications of a way forward before Malaysia Day.
As Selangor Menteri Besar, Amirudin stated he is following instructions in the talks. PH Chairman Anwar Ibrahim recently confirmed Amirudin's role in potential BN cooperation for the Melaka election. The state assembly's five-year term ends in December 2026, and a dissolution and early election are possible by September. BN previously won 21 of 28 seats in the last Melaka election and governed alone before inviting PH to form the state government.
