Rauf: We'll discuss political cooperation only after state assembly is dissolved
MELAKA: State Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh says discussions on political cooperation will only begin after the legislative assembly is dissolved.
MELAKA: BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh stated that political cooperation discussions will commence only after the state assembly is dissolved. This aligns with the decision made by BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Rauf reassured that negotiations would indeed commence soon and there would be no formal talks before the assembly's dissolution.
When contacted, Rauf reiterated that formal negotiations would not occur until the assembly is dissolved. Zahid had earlier indicated that BN would determine political cooperation during the Melaka election after the assembly's dissolution, leaving the matter to Rauf's discretion. Yesterday, Pakatan Harapan's election director, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, revealed that PH had not received any formal communication from BN regarding potential collaboration. However, Shari affirmed that PH was prepared to proceed independently.
