BN-PH talks on Melaka election are ongoing

BARISAN Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) are in the midst of negotiations on an electoral alliance for the next state election in Melaka, says state PKR chief Adam Adli.

Adam said Melaka PH chief Adly Zahari met his BN counterpart, chief minister Ab Rauf Yusoh, on Tuesday, and that discussions are ongoing, Utusan Malaysia reported.

“Adly met Rauf on Tuesday and it appears that we’re headed in a positive direction, so we hope for the best.

“PH doesn’t want to be considered merely as a party that would bring only non-Malay support. We want to have a bigger role than that in strengthening the Melaka state government,” said Adam, the Hang Tuah Jaya MP.

The Melaka legislative assembly will automatically dissolve in December. The next state election must be held in late February at the latest.

Last month, Rauf said the Melaka polls could be held before the year ends.

Meanwhile, Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said discussing a possible pact with PH for the Melaka polls was not on the agenda for the Umno Supreme Council meeting tomorrow.

The meeting, to be held in Melaka, prompted speculation that discussions on the state election were on the cards.

“It’s just the monthly Supreme Council meeting, which we have decided to hold in all states, including Melaka. (Discussing the PH pact) is not on the agenda,” said Asyraf.

BN leads the Melaka government while PH is part of the state administration, having been coopted in 2023 following the formation of the federal unity government.

BN-PH berunding kerjasama PRN Melaka

BARISAN Nasional (BN) dan Pakatan Harapan (PH) sedang dalam rundingan untuk bekerjasama pada pilihanraya negeri Melaka nanti, kata ketua PKR negeri, Adam Adli.
Katanya, ketua PH Melaka, Adly Zahari sudah menemui Ketua Menteri, Ab Rauf Yusoh pada Selasa lalu dan rundingan mengenainya berjalan lancar, menurut laporan Utusan Malaysia.

“Adly berjumpa Rauf Selasa baru-baru ini dan rundingan itu menampakkan arah positif, jadi kita harap ia akan berjaya.

“PH tak mahu dilihat sebagai sebuah parti untuk meraih sokongan bukan Melayu sahaja tetapi kami mahukan fungsi lebih besar dalam memperkukuhkan kerajaan negeri,” kata Adam yang juga Ahli Parlimen Hang Tuah Jaya.

Penggal Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka akan terbubar secara automatik Disember ini, dan pilihanraya perlu diadakan selewat-lewatnya Februari depan.

Sementara itu, setiausaha agung Umno, Asyraf Dusuki berkata perbincangan dengan PH bagi pilihanraya negeri Melaka tidak termasuk dalam agenda mesyuarat Majlis Kerja Tertinggi Umno di Melaka, esok (Jumaat).
