Seat allocation for the state elections later this year is expected to be among the main agendas during the government secretariat meeting at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur this Sunday.
Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will chair the meeting.
“(In addition) there will be a report on three matters, namely, the Monitoring and Policy Committee, the Seats Consultation Committee, and the Mobilisation and Communication Committee,” he said in a press conference when commenting on Harapan’s preparations for the state elections today.
On discussions with BN on seat allocations, he said the electoral pact between Harapan and BN was sufficient to enhance their winning chances in which one coalition will avoid fielding candidates where the other is contesting.
“That’s the minimum understanding because we have the Unity Government. This will enhance our winning potential,” he said.
The states involved in the elections are Kedah, Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, and Terengganu.
Meanwhile, Saifuddin (above), who is also PKR secretary-general, said his party’s Special National Congress this Saturday at Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam will be themed “Malaysia Madani: Implementation of Idealism” and act as a prelude to the state elections.
“It is specifically for us to channel the focus of the leadership and party members to preparations for the polls,” he said.
He said the congress will also include debate sessions by state representatives and party youth and women’s wings.
