Melaka's Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) have reached an understanding, as stated by BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. The two coalitions plan to release a joint manifesto for the 16th Melaka State Election, with the aim of securing over 21 of the 28 Legislative Assembly seats. Ab Rauf explained that the manifesto would provide significant benefits to the people of the state, much like their 2021 manifesto where they fulfilled nearly 90 percent of their pledges.
While the final details of the manifesto are still being refined, Ab Rauf emphasized that they have a strong mutual understanding between BN and PN, which extends to campaign coordination, policy formulation, and voter engagement. The BN has set a baseline target of 21 seats, with hopes of surpassing that number through partnership with strategic allies.
However, Ab Rauf declined to comment on potential post-election portfolio allocations until the coalition secures its mandate.
