Pakatan-BN seat distribution expected to be ready by 'end-April'

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari expects the seat distribution process between Pakatan Harapan and BN to be 80 to 90 percent completed by the end of this month, in preparation for the upcoming state elections.

Amirudin (above), who is also Selangor Harapan chairperson, said discussions with BN are ongoing and his side still needs time to report and present it to the central Harapan leadership for a decision.

“Discussions on seat distribution will continue until the nomination day, but we have set a timeframe to ensure that 80 to 90 percent are completed by the end of April.

“We hope it will be achieved, but even if it is not achieved, we will continue the discussion because the important thing is our strategy (to face the state elections),” he told the media after attending the #KitaSelangor Aidilfitri special incentive to the mosque managements and religious teachers in the state in Shah Alalm today.

According to him, BN, which is now part of the unity government in Selangor, has started to move together with Harapan as a team, especially in preparation for the unity government national convention which will take place on May 14.

The current composition of the seats in the Selangor state legislative assembly consists of PKR (19), DAP (15), and Amanah (six). Meanwhile, BN has five seats, followed by Bersatu (four), Parti Bangsa Malaysia and Pejuang two seats each while PAS, Warisan and Independent have one seat each.
