KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional will contest the Melaka election under the coalition's own logo, with its candidates to be announced on Oct 29.

The coalition is also open to Bersatu contesting under its own logo, in line with Clause 16 of the coalition's constitution, if permitted.

PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the number of seats to be contested and the list of candidates had yet to be finalised.

"PN is scheduled to announce our candidates for the Melaka state election on Oct 29. However, the details have not been finalised," he told reporters after a PN emergency supreme council meeting.
