Melaka polls: Bersatu skipped PN seat talks before fielding candidates, says Tuan Ibrahim
MELAKA: Bersatu did not attend Perikatan Nasional's seat allocation negotiations before fielding candidates against the coalition in the Melaka election, Pas deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said.
MELAKA: Pas deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man revealed that Bersatu did not attend Perikatan Nasional's seat allocation negotiations prior to the Melaka election, where they subsequently contested PN candidates despite claiming to remain part of the coalition. The party had been invited to participate in seat distribution talks but declined to send representatives.
Tuan Ibrahim expressed skepticism about Bersatu's commitment to the coalition, noting its complaint to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) seeking the deregistration of PN. He questioned how a component party could lodge a complaint to deregister the coalition while simultaneously claiming membership. Tuan Ibrahim stated that the dispute over Bersatu's position within PN would ultimately be decided by the coalition's Supreme Council.
He also highlighted the smooth progress of the election campaign, emphasizing the cooperation between Barisan Nasional and PN, with only minor complaints reported.
