Barisan Nasional (BN) is nearing completion of seat negotiations for the upcoming Melaka state election, according to Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. The coalition, which secured 21 state constituencies in the previous polls, aims to defend these seats in the upcoming election. Asyraf stated that the remaining discussions focus on seven seats out of the 28-seat state legislative assembly, with potential seat swaps being actively considered.
The negotiations have reached 90 percent completion, with only 10 percent left to finalize. Asyraf emphasized the importance of trust and sincerity in the political pact between the two largest Malay political parties, Umno and PAS. He urged that if they are genuine friends, they should not deceive or intimidate one another. The Election Commission has set November 14 as the polling day for the 16th Melaka state election, with nominations to be submitted on October 31.
