Hadi hints at wider BN-PN cooperation after Melaka polls
The PAS president says the pact could stretch to the federal level and the Perikatan Nasional-led states.
PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang has expressed optimism about enhanced collaboration between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) following their recent victory in the Melaka elections. Speaking to reporters, Hadi noted that their improved relationship following victories in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and most recently Melaka, could extend beyond the state level to the federal polls.
"God willing, it (the cooperation) will continue. We expect things to be better after gaining experience in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and now, for the third time, in Melaka," Hadi stated. When asked if the collaboration would involve PAS-led states like Kelantan and Terengganu, Hadi gave a positive response, indicating a willingness to extend the cooperation.
The BN secured 21 out of the 28 state seats in Melaka during the 2021 elections, while PAS and its partners claimed the remaining five. In the previous general election, BN won five seats while Pakatan Harapan captured the rest.
