LENGGONG – Negotiations on the distribution of seats between Perikatan Nasional (PN) component parties for the upcoming state elections are now close to half-done.

PAS vice-president Datuk Idris Ahmad said his party would get updates from the six states involved before seat talks are finalised at the central level.

“I think it’s (discussions) almost 50% (done), but for now we are fine-tuning matters related to changing seats and so on,” he said at a press conference after attending the Perak PAS Aidilfitri open house at Arena Amanjaya Lawin, here today.

Idris said the party’s machinery at various levels, especially in states not holding polls, will be mobilised to help PN maintain its dominance in Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah.

Previously, the media reported that the elections in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor, and Negri Sembilan are expected to be held simultaneously this June.

Meanwhile, Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria denied rumours that the chapter was involved in a scheme to upstage the state administration led by Menteri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad. – Bernama, April 30, 2023
