Kerjasama lebih tersusun formula BN-PN tawan Melaka, kata Takiyuddin

Setiausaha Agung Perikatan Nasional (PN) Takiyuddin Hassan has described the more structured cooperation between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) as a successful formula in preparing for the upcoming elections in Melaka. He notes this was evident in the election results, which showed the blue team dominating nearly all the seats, with only four seats held by the red team, according to PH.

Takiyuddin stated that the cooperation between BN and PN has become more structured with central and state-level meetings to synchronize their efforts. Additionally, both parties launched a joint manifesto as part of their political understanding reached prior to the election. This structured approach is a good formula for both BN and PN, according to him.

Previously, Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, PN's Deputy Chief, claimed BN-PN won Melaka based on unofficial results. However, the unofficial Melaka PRN results are subject to scrutiny by the Election Commission (SPR). This time around, BN contested 23 seats while PN put up candidates in five seats, following their political understanding for cooperation.

Their previous collaboration resulted in a victory for them during the PRN in Negeri Sembilan on August 1, when they secured 25 out of 36 DUN seats, achieving a two-thirds majority. BN won 18 seats, while PN took seven, while PH won the remaining 11 seats.
