BN-PN dijangka bentuk kerjasama menjelang PRN Melaka
Penganalisis berkata Umno sedar tanding solo bukan pilihan mudah kerana saingan dengan PAS akan menyukarkan laluan menang kerusi majoriti Melayu.
Melaka is about to hold a by-election shortly after the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) was dissolved on Wednesday. Analysts predict Umno and PAS will form a pre-election alliance to face the upcoming PRN Melaka. Both parties are expected to avoid competing against each other for Malay majority seats. Although Umno has not announced a coalition yet, Mazlan Ali from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia stated that all indications suggest the party will cooperate directly with PAS.
"During the recent Umno General Assembly, PAS was invited, not (another PN component party) Wawasan," he told FMT. Azmi Hassan from Akademi Nusantara added that Umno realizes BN will face a tougher path if competing alone due to competition with PAS. They believe PAS might reach an agreement with Umno before the allocation of seats among PN component parties.
The BN-led government in Melaka won 21 out of 28 seats in the 2021 PRN, with the PAS winning five seats and the PN securing two seats, both through Bersatu.
