PRN Melaka: PN tanding lebih 4 kerusi, kata Tuan Ibrahim
Timbalan pengerusi PN itu berkata jumlah kerusi akan dimuktamadkan selepas rundingan dengan Umno.
In the upcoming Perikatan Nasional (PN) primary election in Melaka on November 14, PN plans to field more than four candidates, according to Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man. However, he did not specify the exact number of contested seats. "That will be finalized in the near future following discussions with Umno," he said to reporters after attending a Budget 2027 announcement.
Last month, Tuan Ibrahim had predicted that PN and PAS could contest between seven to ten seats in the upcoming PRN. He also clarified that PN and Umno have been discussing seat allocation and a framework for cooperation ahead of the election. During PRN 2021, PN and Bersatu together won only two out of 28 contested seats. PAS, on the other hand, failed to win any seats from the eight constituencies contested before deciding to sever ties with Bersatu in June.
Last week, Bersatu Melaka emphasized its desire to retain the Bemban and Sungai Udang seats won in the previous PRN, despite both incumbents now belonging to Wawasan, which became a PN component party in July. Bersatu Melaka's Head of Communications, Hishamuddin Abdul Karim, also expected the party to contest up to 10 out of 28 DUN seats in the state.
Meanwhile, Tuan Ibrahim denied any agreement between Bersatu Selangor deputies and Selangor Chief Minister Amirudin Shari. "We remain opposed (in Selangor). Perhaps there is a misunderstanding," he said. Yesterday, Amirudin stated that a Bersatu deputy would sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the state government before the Selangor budget announcement.
The MoU was described as similar to a confidence and competence (CSA) agreement signed between former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's administration and the 2021 opposition in 2021. Amirudin said the state government and the opposition are still finalizing the terms of the MoU. However, Permatang Nurul Syazwani Noh, a Permatang Nurul MP, later said she was unaware of any plans her party had to enforce the agreement.
Tuan Ibrahim stressed that such an MoU would be unfair to voters who supported PN in the previous Selangor PRN.
