SHAH ALAM – Only two seats have not been finalised in the negotiations between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) for the upcoming Selangor state election.
Both seats will be referred to the central party leadership soon for further action, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said.
“So far, 95% of seat allocation talks are complete. (PH-BN) talks are done, and only two seats have not been settled, which will be decided by the central leadership,” he told reporters after officiating the 2023 Selangor Mega Job Carnival here today.
There are 56 seats to be contested in Selangor.
Elections will also be held in Penang, Negri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.
In another development, Amirudin said recent state executive council meetings aim to ensure that several matters, including policy and administrative decisions, could be resolved before the state assembly is dissolved.
“We have completed the majority of outstanding issues…now only 67 working papers remain.
“When we took over, I remember there were over 200 pending cases that were not finalised.”
He said following the 14th general election in 2018, the state government only recorded an income of RM1.8 billion whereas the original target was up to RM2.4 billion. – Bernama, June 18, 2023
