Mahdzir wants to meet Sanusi first for Umno-PAS cooperation in Kedah

Mahdzir Khalid, the chief of Kedah Umno, has expressed his intention to first meet with Kedah's Menteri Besar, Sanusi Nor, before engaging in more detailed negotiations with the state's PAS leadership. This meeting is expected to pave the way for potential cooperation between Umno and PAS in the upcoming 16th general election, according to Mahdzir.

While the specifics of their collaboration have not been fully disclosed, the Umno Supreme Council recently approved the idea of negotiations with interested political parties, emphasizing the need for sincerity and trust in such discussions. This development is significant in light of the recent political cooperation between Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional in the Negeri Sembilan state elections, which secured 25 seats for the coalition.

The success of this collaboration has sparked discussions about extending the partnership to the GE16 elections and the upcoming Melaka state election.
