Fahmi Fadzil said if component parties need to discuss contesting in a particular seat, the final decision will be made by the PH presidential council.KUALA LUMPUR: Discussions on the list of Pakatan Harapan candidates for the Melaka state election are more than 95% complete, says PH communications director Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi, who is also the communications minister, said PH has scheduled its candidate announcement for Oct 24, with the venue to be confirmed later.

He said discussions on the candidates list began at the PH component-party level, after which each party contesting a particular seat could hold talks with other parties, if necessary.

“If any party entrusted with contesting a particular seat sees a need to discuss the matter with other parties, it is up to them to do so and, ultimately, the final decision will be made by the PH presidential council,” he said.
