BN-Pas cooperation in Melaka polls more organised than Negri Sembilan, says Umno sec-gen
MELAKA: Cooperation between the election machinery of Barisan Nasional, Pas and its allies in the Melaka election is more organised and coordinated than during the recent Negri Sembilan polls.
The allocation of four seats to the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in the Melaka state election signifies the party's solidarity with the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, according to BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The decision dispels rumors that MCA might boycott the election or express dissatisfaction with the seat distribution.
Instead, MCA has opted to participate in the election alongside BN, securing four contested seats. This approach highlights the unity within the BN coalition. Following the election, Zahid emphasized that BN and its partner, Perikatan Nasional (PN), would contest all 28 seats in Melaka, with Umno aiming for 18 seats, MCA for four, and MIC for one. The remaining seats would be contested by the other PN coalition parties.
