Melaka polls: MCA's four-seat allocation reflects BN solidarity, says Zahid
MASJID TANAH: The allocation of four seats to MCA for the Melaka state election reflects the party’s solidarity with Barisan Nasional (BN).
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.
