PN to get exco posts if BN wins Melaka polls, says Zahid
Acknowledging possible 'issues' at the grassroots level, the BN chairman says BN and PN leaders will refine their machinery's workflow at all levels.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi disclosed that candidates from their coalition would be granted executive positions in the Melaka state government if Barisan Nasional (BN) secures victory in the upcoming polls on November 14. Speaking to Berita Harian, Zahid reiterated that this arrangement adheres to the electoral cooperation agreement already in place between the two alliances, mirroring their previous understanding in Negeri Sembilan.
He reiterated that the state government will extend invitations to PN representatives who win their seats to contribute to the administration. Zahid emphasized that both parties have signed a memorandum of understanding for the polls, pledging to mobilize their respective machinery and supporters to back each other's candidates.
However, he acknowledged potential challenges at the grassroots level due to the late signing of the agreement, vowing that BN and PN leaders will personally visit the ground to synchronize their machinery's operations at polling stations and constituencies.
The BN is vying for 23 seats, whereas PN is contesting for the remaining five. In Negeri Sembilan, BN had contested 25 seats against 11 seats for PN, securing a two-thirds majority by winning 25 out of the 36 seats in the state assembly.
