BN, PAS to share stage in unveiling candidates, says Zahid
The Barisan Nasional chairman says the coalition will announce its 21 candidates, while PAS will reveal its seven candidates.
PAS and Barisan Nasional (BN) are set to jointly unveil their candidates for the upcoming Melaka state election on Saturday, according to BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The coalition will reveal 21 candidates from BN and 7 from PAS, according to Harian Metro. The announcement follows PAS's denial of finalizing seat negotiations with BN for the upcoming polls on November 14.
Takiyuddin Hassan, the secretary-general for both Perikatan Nasional and PAS, confirmed the alliance with BN, stating that ongoing negotiations are taking place to refine the agreement. BN plans to contest 21 out of the 28 seats up for grabs, while PAS and its allies will compete for the remaining seven. The deadline for nominations for the state election is October 31.
