Kuasa KM lantik wakil PN sebagai exco Melaka, kata Idris

Former Kuanyam State executive member of Perikatan Nasional (PN), Idris Ahmad, has stated that the decision to appoint a coalition representative as an exco lies within the purview of the Chief Minister and he does not wish to comment further on the matter. The importance of today's agenda remains to take the first step, we win first and we have proven, he said after the PRN Melaka results were announced at the International Trade and Convention Centre (MITC) in Melaka.

Earlier, Barisan Nasional (BN) Chairman Zahid Hamidi said that a PN representative would also be appointed as an exco if both the coalition and alliance succeed in forming the state government. BN and PN agreed to keep Ab Rauf Yusoh as Chief Minister following the unofficial result showing both the coalition and alliance securing 24 out of 28 DUN Melaka seats, thereby securing a majority of more than two-thirds.

Idris hopes that the relationship between the two coalitions will continue to strengthen and expand at the federal level. As always, I said it started in Johor, then spread to Negeri Sembilan, today it bore fruit, hopefully the next one will be in Putrajaya, he said.
