Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) have started talks ahead of the Melaka state election.

Market Impact

The PAS president told reporters on Sunday the discussions began three days earlier and involve central leadership representatives from both parties. Abdul Hadi described the early progress as positive, citing the spirit of cooperation seen in Johor and Negeri Sembilan.

“Party preparations have already begun and are ongoing,” he said. “These talks will be taken to the next level.”

PN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, who is also a PAS vice-president, and Melaka PAS commissioner Zulkifli Ismail were present at the meeting.

Abdul Hadi declined to confirm whether a formal cooperation agreement would be reached, calling the process too early to predict. “Even at this early stage, the progress is very good,” he said. “Alhamdulillah, the discussions are very positive.”

PN whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said on Saturday the two sides are close to a deal but have yet to finalise the cooperation framework, including seat-sharing arrangements for the Melaka state legislative assembly seats.

Takiyuddin said BN has responded positively to early discussions, though he gave no further details.
