ALOR GAJAH - Allocation of seats between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the upcoming state elections at the state level are almost complete, BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.

The Umno president said that the matter would be brought to the central level to be fine-tuned and decided.

"I’m confident that there is a good understanding between BN and PH leaders at the state level.

"Whichever seat that will be decided between parties within BN will be settled internally first, as I’m sure it will be done in PH as well,” he told reporters at the Melaka state UMNO Open House here tonight, which was also attended by Melaka chief minister cum state UMNO liaison committee chairman, Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.

Ahmad Zahid added that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, as PH chairman, will hold a Unity Government coordination meeting this Sunday and will listen to the parties’ preparations for the state elections in Penang, Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan and Terengganu.

He added that BN and PH is not underestimating the competition in the six state elections as it will reflect the people’s acceptance of the Unity Government.

"Insya-Allah, all preparations have been made as well as possible and what’s important is the cooperation between party machineries, not only at state level, but also at the district polling centres and at the locality level,” he said - BERNAMA
