Negeri Sembilan Harapan state polls talks in final stages - Aminuddin

Seat negotiations involving Pakatan Harapan component parties for the upcoming Negeri Sembilan state polls are now in the final stages, says state Harapan chairperson Aminuddin Harun.

Aminuddin (above) said the outcome of the discussions would be handed over to the coalition’s presidential council.

The PKR vice-president told this to reporters after chairing the state executive council meeting at Wisma Negeri, Seremban, today.

Asked about the distribution of seats between Harapan and BN, the state PKR chairperson and menteri besar said that would depend on discussions at the central level, which would involve all six states that are preparing for elections.

Besides Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu are also gearing up for their polls.

The mandate for the Negeri Sembilan government will end next month.

In the 14th general election, Harapan won 20 seats out of 36 state seats in Negeri Sembilan while BN secured the rest.

When asked about his candidacy, the Sikamat assemblyperson said he was still uncertain about the matter, adding if God wills it, he will contest in the upcoming state polls.
