PN ditawar jawatan exco jika BN menang PRN Melaka, kata Zahid

Pengerusi Barisan Nasional, Zahid Hamidi, has announced that the coalition plans to invite a Perikatan Nasional (PN) representative to serve as an exco member in Malacca's State Legislative Council (MMKN) if they succeed in winning the upcoming PRN elections on November 14th. This move aligns with the political cooperation between the two coalitions to tackle the PRN election.

Similar to what happened in Negeri Sembilan and Melaka, where PN and PH collaborated previously, the coalition respects the agreement by offering a placement to their cooperative partner to serve in the state government. Zahid told journalists after attending the Deepavali 2026 Santun Meeting that BN and PN have signed a memorandum of understanding to mobilize the electorate and mobilize voters to support their agreed-upon candidate.

He did not rule out the possibility of issues surfacing at the grassroots level due to the potential slow adjustment process between the two parties. The leaders of both the BN and PN coalition parties will visit local areas in the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) to implement coordination and enhance the joint effort at the grassroots level in the local government, election management centers (PDM), and the Dewan Undangan Negeri, according to Zahid.

Malacca's PRN 16 will witness 79 candidates contesting for 28 DUN seats, with the voting scheduled for November 14th, while the first voting day is set for November 10th, and the candidate nomination took place on October 31st.
