ALOR STAR – Perikatan Nasional (PN) is expected to complete the seat distribution for the impending polls in six states this Sunday, said its election director Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.

He said that currently only a few seats in Selangor and Negri Sembilan are still pending.

“There are a few seats in Selangor and Negri Sembilan that have yet to be decided. As for Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, everything has been finalised.

“Previously, we gave Selangor and Negri Sembilan one week (to finalise seat distribution) so this Sunday we will meet again with the PN leadership. Insya-Allah, this Sunday it will be finalised,” he said last night.

Sanusi, who is also the menteri besar of Kedah, said the seats that are still pending are not “hot seats”, but have yet to be decided as they have not reached an agreement.

Previously, PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man was reported to have said that negotiations on seat distribution among the PN component parties had reached 80%.

He also said that the first round of negotiations had gone smoothly and the distribution of seats had been conducted by consensus involving all PN component parties. – Bernama, April 14, 2023
