PH preparing for all scenarios in Melaka polls, including solo run

Pakatan Harapan, the coalition led by Anwar Ibrahim, is gearing up for the upcoming Melaka polls, ready to navigate any potential scenarios. Amirudin Shari, the PH election director, disclosed that internal talks are underway to decide the coalition's course of action. No formal discussions have been held with Barisan Nasional regarding collaboration.

PH is prepared for multiple outcomes, from a repeat of the Johor or Negeri Sembilan elections to a distinct situation. The PH candidate, a PKR vice-president, mentioned that seat distribution negotiations among coalition parties may conclude before nomination day, but PH is prepared to proceed sooner if required. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had earlier mandated Amirudin to determine the specifics of any potential cooperation between PH and BN, including seat allocations, for the Melaka election.

The state of Melaka comprises 28 parliamentary seats. In the previous election held on August 25, BN secured 21 seats, while PH won five and Perikatan Nasional secured two. The current state government's term ends on December 31.
