No pacts for Melaka election, not even with PH, says Bersatu
Party secretary-general Azmin Ali says Bersatu is preparing to contest on its own and will use its own logo as it did in Negeri Sembilan.
Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) has announced it will contest the Melaka state election independently of Pakatan Harapan (PH) or any other political party, according to Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, the party's secretary-general. Berita Harian reported that Bersatu intends to run under its own logo, similar to its approach in the Negeri Sembilan state election.
The party is currently developing its election strategy and machinery for a solo campaign, with Azmin stating that no decisions have been made to cooperate with any party. The meeting between senior figures from Bersatu and PH in Melaka was reportedly held in a personal capacity and has no connection to the party's official position, as clarified by Azmin.
PH's election director, Amirudin Shari, suggested that any arrangement between the two blocs might take the form of an electoral understanding rather than a formal coalition. The Melaka state assembly was dissolved on September 23, and the Election Commission is scheduled to meet on October 7 to decide on the election's key dates.
