PRN Melaka: BN kekal pendirian beri 7 kerusi pada PN

In Melaka, Barisan Nasional (BN) has decided to retain seven seats while giving the Perikatan Nasional (PN) the opportunity to contest the remaining seats, despite efforts to secure additional seats. BN President and Umno leader Zahid Hamidi stated that the decision was agreed upon through a mutual agreement and that his party would adhere to the agreed terms.

He acknowledged that there were attempts to secure more seats, but noted that a pledge had been made to give BN candidates the chance to contest the remaining seven seats. BN, along with other parties in the PN coalition, will share the non-winning seats. Meanwhile, PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man reportedly said that PN hoped for further discussions to secure one or two additional seats beyond the initially announced seven.

Earlier reports suggested that Zahid had confirmed ongoing political understanding discussions with PAS, with BN standing for 21 seats and the remaining seven being allocated to PAS and their allies. The Election Commission (SPR) has set October 31 as the date for candidate nominations, November 10 for the first round of voting, and November 14 for the 16th Melaka PN elections.
