MALACCA POLLS | There is a positive and convincing acceptance among voters in Malacca for Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the state election, said PN election director Azmin Ali.

He said that although it was still difficult to determine the number of constituencies that PN could win, he was confident that there was space for the party to make inroads in the final dash over the next few days.

"We are contesting all 28 state seats, our hope is to ensure PN gets the majority support from the people of Malacca. There are positive and convincing developments in several areas that we campaigned in now.

"Despite the strict standard operating procedures, we have to work hard and we will try our best as we head into the final straight," he said after the Isyak prayers and attending a dinner at Surau Akbar Ali in Kampung Tedong, Serkam yesterday.

PN is contesting all 28 state seats in the Malacca election set for Nov 20, with Bersatu contending 15 seats, PAS (eight) and Gerakan (five).

The international trade and industry minister said the candidate for the post of chief minister, should PN succeed in forming the state government after the election, had been identified and would be announced soon.

He explained that the candidate would be from Bersatu, as announced by PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin.
