PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has acknowledged that BN will lead Malacca and that his party will be part of the government should they win the state election next month.

“We are continuing our efforts (on cooperation). We accept the reality that BN will lead Malacca, while we will be in the government,” the Marang MP told a press conference held in conjunction with the International Summit 2026 in Terengganu yesterday.

Hadi (above) said this when asked about PAS and BN cooperation in facing the Malacca state election, scheduled to take place on Nov 14.

On incumbent Merlimau assemblyperson Dr Akmal Saleh giving up his seat to make way for a PAS candidate, Hadi said the matter has yet to be finalised, but noted that PAS already has a list of proposed candidates.
