BN-PN sepakat calon Ab Rauf kekal KM Melaka

The Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) parties have agreed to field Ab Rauf Yusoh as the next Chief Minister of Melaka, following their resounding victories in the recent PRN elections. BN's Secretary-General, Zahid Hamidi, announced the decision to the Melaka Governor earlier tonight. "I hereby announce that BN and PN have nominated Ab Rauf Yusoh as the candidate for Chief Minister of Melaka," he stated during a media briefing.

This announcement comes after the informal consensus that the BN-PN alliance holds a commanding 24 out of the 28 DUN Melaka seats, securing over two-thirds of the vote to form the state government. Zahid also expressed gratitude to the people of Melaka, particularly the voters who endorsed BN in partnership with PN as their strategic ally to govern the state.

He described the decision as the continuation of the blue wave momentum that began with the victory in Johor, followed by Negeri Sembilan and now Melaka. "Alhamdulillah, these three consecutive victories are not the reason for us to be proud, but must be accepted with full gratitude, humility, and sincerity," he added. Zahid emphasized that BN and PN realized the great trust bestowed upon them and pledged to fulfill all campaign promises in the election manifesto, while delivering the best services regardless of race or religion.

He also noted that the political understanding and commitment to cooperation between BN and PN have become stronger and more accepted by the people. Zahid believes that the spirit of unity will continue to strengthen to form a more stable state government.
