BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said PN’s components can distribute the seven seats among themselves. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional has rejected Perikatan Nasional's appeal for two more seats under their pact for the Nov 14 Melaka state election.

BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Umno-led coalition is sticking to contesting the lion's share of seats at 21 and allocating seven to PN.

The Umno president added that this was already agreed by PN previously, Bernama reported.

“I have heard about efforts to seek additional seats, but we already have an agreement to allow them to contest the seven seats BN is not contesting. We leave it to PN’s components to distribute those seats among themselves.
