The seat allocation for BN in the Malacca state election has been finalised, with seven seats allocated to PAS and the coalition's strategic partners, said Malacca BN chairperson Ab Rauf Yusoh.

Rauf said all negotiations have been concluded and there are no overlapping seats among the parties involved.

“We have finalised all negotiations and allocated seven seats to our strategic partners. There are no problems and no overlaps,” The Star quoted him as saying.

Rauf made these remarks at a press conference after BN announced its list of 21 candidates at the Melaka International Trade Centre in Ayer Keroh last night.
