Zambry urges BN parties to prioritize victory in Melaka election over seat allocation disputes. In Lumut, Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, BN secretary-general, emphasized that all component parties should concentrate on securing victory in the 21 seats allocated to BN. He acknowledged that discussions would naturally arise during candidate selection but stressed that the primary focus must remain on winning the contested seats.
MCA president Dr Wee Ka Siong previously stated that any MCA members appointed as BN candidates without party approval would not be recognized, citing allegations of seats intended for MCA being reallocated. Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, BN chairman and Umno president, announced that negotiations for a political understanding with PAS had been finalized, allocating 21 seats to BN and seven to PAS and its allies.
The Elections Commission set nomination day for Oct 31, early voting on Nov 10, and polling day on Nov 14 for the 16th Melaka state election.
