The Chief Minister of Melaka, Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, has announced that formal political negotiations and seat allocations for the state election will only commence after the Melaka state assembly is dissolved. Ab Rauf, who also serves as the BN chairman, reiterated this stance in line with the earlier decision made by BN chairman and Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
"We will open the door for negotiations after the state assembly is dissolved. There is no need to rush, negotiations will certainly take place soon," he stated.
Zahid, who is also the UMNO president, mentioned that informal discussions between BN, Pakatan Harapan (PH), and Perikatan Nasional (PN) had reportedly begun. However, he emphasized that formal discussions should ideally be conducted post the dissolution of the Melaka state assembly.
PH election director, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, reported that the coalition has not yet received any official decision regarding cooperation or seat allocations with BN for the state election. The discussions so far have been conducted online and have not reached the formal negotiation stage. The current term of the Melaka state assembly is set to end by the end of December.
