PN suspension won’t affect BN’s Melaka polls plans, says Saravanan
MIC deputy president M Saravanan says BN is capable of contesting the Melaka polls on its own, citing its strong performance at the recent Negeri Sembilan and Johor elections.
MIC deputy president M Saravanan has stated that the suspension of Perikatan Nasional (PN) will not impact Barisan Nasional (BN) in their preparations for the upcoming Melaka state election. Saravanan emphasized that BN can contest the election independently, citing its success in the recent state elections in Negeri Sembilan and Johor, where it secured a significant number of seats.
BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had previously hinted at the coalition's intention to go solo. The Registrar of Societies suspended all PN activities on September 23, following a complaint from Bersatu, though this decision does not involve deregistering PN. The coalition has 30 days to respond to the notice. Melaka's BN chairman, Ab Rauf Yusoh, revealed that the coalition has not yet decided on contesting the election alone or forming an alliance with other parties.
BN had won 21 out of 28 seats in the 2021 Melaka election, while Pakatan Harapan received five seats and PN secured two.
