The question of who would partner Barisan Nasional (BN) in the upcoming Melaka state election has been answered, with Umno announcing that the coalition would work alongside PAS and its allies in Perikatan Nasional (PN).
In a statement, Umno said it had called on all party members and machinery to support its partners, adding that BN and PN would launch a joint election manifesto aimed at delivering the best possible service to the people.
“(We also) urge party leaders and machinery to always conduct election campaigns in a prudent and ethical manner, without engaging in any acts of slander, insults or verbal abuse against rival parties,” Umno secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said.
