Bersatu, PAS and Gerakan to contest in Malacca under PN

 


Bersatu, PAS and Gerakan have agreed to contest in the upcoming Malacca state election under Perikatan Nasional's (PN) ticket, said coalition chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin.

The former premier said the decision was made yesterday by the PN supreme council in a special meeting held to discuss matters related to the state polls.

"I chaired a special meeting attended by all component parties - Bersatu, PAS, Star Sabah, SAPP and Gerakan on Monday.  

"Bersatu, PAS and Gerakan have agreed to offer their candidates for the state polls and use a single symbol, which is the logo of PN. Seat negotiations will be finalised by a committee," he said in a statement yesterday.

Muhyiddin (above) added that peninsula-based PN parties - Bersatu, PAS, and Gerakan - had also agreed in principle to mobilise their election machinery. 

The Malacca election was called following the dissolution of the state assembly on Oct 4, after four government representatives withdrew their support for Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali.

Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said the party was sticking to its decision to not cooperate with Bersatu in any elections.

This prompted Muhyiddin to say that PN will likely contest all 28 state seats in Malacca. 

However, PAS reiterated its call for the cooperation of Umno and PN in the state polls.

On Oct 24, PN election director Azmin Ali said the coalition had never shut its doors to negotiations with BN.

The Bersatu supreme council member, however, urged BN to decide soon whether it wants to cooperate with PN in Malacca.

In 2018, Bersatu contested six state seats in Malacca, of which they only won two - Paya Rumput and Telok Mas.

A preliminary analysis has indicated that even with Bersatu and PAS combined, PN will be in for a tough battle and may even risk getting wiped out in the state election. - Mkini
