Stronger BN-PN cooperation in Melaka offers hope for GE16
MELAKA: Umno is confident that its political cooperation with Pas and Perikatan Nasional can be strengthened and extended to the federal level ahead of the 16th General Election.
Melaka BN chief Ab Rauf Yusoh has predicted that his party and the Perikatan Nasional (PN) could secure up to 25 of the 28 seats in the upcoming state election. This forecast is based on the current political climate, which includes internal issues within Pakatan Harapan (PH). The former Melaka chief minister did not specify which seats the two coalitions might win, but stated that they could potentially win 21 seats, with additional support from allies pushing the total towards 25.
According to Rauf, the political turmoil has given voters the chance to express their discontent with the actions of PH, which he perceives as lacking respect for the decisions of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. He believes that if the people deem BN as the best option, they should choose BN for the greater good. Additionally, Rauf expressed confidence that BN would win the Taboh Naning seat, attributing this to the strong collaboration between the election teams of both coalitions.
In the upcoming polls, BN is contesting 23 of the 28 state seats, while PAS-led PN is aiming for the remaining five.
