MELAKA, Oct 24 — Barisan Nasional (BN) will stick to its agreement to allocate seven seats it is not contesting to Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the Melaka state election, despite attempts to secure additional seats.
BN chairman and Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the allocation had been agreed upon under a mutual agreement, which BN would honour.
“I have heard about efforts to seek additional seats, but we already have a pact, an agreement to allow them to contest the seven seats BN is not contesting, which we have left to PN’s component parties to distribute among themselves.
“That is the decision for now, and we will stand by what we have mutually agreed upon,” he told reporters after the Ulul Albab Huffaz Graduation and Excellence Appreciation Ceremony here today.
