Ab Rauf gets the nod to negotiate with election allies
Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says Ab Rauf Yusoh must 'choose a loyal partner, one that can deliver victory for us'.
Melaka BN chief Ab Rauf Yusoh has been appointed by BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to negotiate electoral cooperation with any party for the upcoming state election, according to a statement from Bernama. Zahid emphasized that the chosen partner must be genuine and reliable to ensure BN retains control of the state government in the next term.
The remarks were made during the closing of the Melaka youth carnival, which also featured Rauf, who serves as the Melaka chief minister. Zahid stressed the importance of defending the 21 state assembly seats won by BN in the 2021 election, while warning against any potential partners who may not be honest or loyal. The current term of the state assembly concludes in December.
Pakatan Harapan secured five seats, while Perikatan Nasional took two out of the 28-member assembly.
