Melaka's Barisan Nasional (BN) party has reaffirmed its commitment to the agreement to allocate seven seats to Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the upcoming state election, despite PN's attempts to secure additional seats. BN chairman and Umno president Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated that the arrangement had been mutually agreed upon, and BN would honor the pact.
He emphasized that the decision on seat allocation rests with PN's component parties. Earlier, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man had hinted at negotiations to secure one or two extra seats for PN. Meanwhile, BN has confirmed that it will contest 21 seats, while the remaining seven will be allocated to PAS and its allies.
The election commission has set the nomination deadline for October 31, early voting on November 10, and polling on November 14.
