KUALA LUMPUR – The seat allocation among Umno and its other Barisan Nasional partners for the 15th general election is almost 90% finalised, said Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

The BN secretary-general said three rounds of talks have been held under the consultation committee led by Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

Speaking to the press in the Parliament building today, Annuar said Umno has also had two rounds of discussions on the matter with PAS, with consensus at “60% to 70%”.

“We have agreed that the 55 seats won by Umno will not be contested by PAS, and the 18 seats won by PAS will not be contested by Umno.

“If there are seats where both lost, but Umno got more votes, then Umno will contest, and vice versa.”

He said BN agreed that talks with Bersatu on seat allocation should be expedited. – Bernama, December 14, 2020
