PH decision not to contest Bemban a letdown, say DAP grassroots members
Party supporters urge Pakatan Harapan to reconsider, warning that voters may stay away from the polls.
Election Commission Chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has questioned Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) on its plan to utilize the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo during the upcoming Melaka state election. Samsuri emphasized that only the PN chairman is authorized by the Election Commission to represent the coalition's logo.
Bersatu is currently facing controversy over its position within PN and a complaint lodged with the Registrar of Societies regarding its exclusion from a coalition meeting. Following disagreements over its role in PN, Bersatu must clarify its intentions for using the PN logo in the upcoming polls. Meanwhile, the coalition is expected to continue using its own logo in future elections.
Samsuri urged the parties to adhere to the principles agreed upon during seat allocation negotiations for the Melaka state election and the upcoming general elections. The submission of candidate names from component parties for the Melaka polls is set for tomorrow night, with further discussions and coordination between PN representatives and the component parties anticipated to enhance the election preparation model, particularly based on lessons learned from the Negeri Sembilan state election in August.
