If you’re not interested in alliance, just say so, Amirudin tells Melaka BN
PH election director presses BN for a decision despite the Umno-led coalition wanting to delay talks until the legislature is dissolved.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) election director Amirudin Shari urged Barisan Nasional (BN) to disclose its stance on an alliance for the Melaka state election. Despite BN's reluctance to discuss the matter until the legislature is dissolved, PH emphasized the need to make this stand known earlier to streamline their preparations. Amirudin stated that PH had no issues if BN was not interested in an alliance, but urged BN to express this plainly.
He also pointed out the coalition's inconsistent approach towards cooperation, noting its past desire for independence, followed by potential collaborations with Perikatan Nasional and PH. Amirudin suspected that BN's inconsistent stance might be a tactic to deceive rivals and allies. BN's Melaka chairman, Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh, has been tasked with negotiating electoral cooperation with any party for the state election.
However, formal talks will only commence post the dissolution of the Melaka assembly, which is set to occur by December 31.
