KUALA LIPIS: Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan will not be hasty in the distribution of seats for the upcoming six state elections, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said this approach was to avoid clashes or any problems that might arise if the chosen candidate did not win.State polls: Focus to win, refrain from talking openly about seat distribution for now, says Tok Mat
This included discussions between Barisan and Pakatan at the state level before bringing it to the national level to be finalised among the presidents of the relevant parties."What we will prioritise is that the seat distribution is done not only with a sense of equality, but also the ‘winnability’. Also present were Pahang Mentri Besar and state Umno chairman Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, as well as other Umno leaders at the national and state levels.Ahmad Zahid, who is also Barisan chairman, was responding to claims that seat distribution between Barisan and Pakatan for the state elections in Kedah, Penang, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Terengganu and Kelantan was behind that of Perikatan Nasional, which was reported to be 85% to 90% completed.
On whether Barisan would make changes to the list of candidates for the six state elections to ensure their candidates were “likeable”, Ahmad Zahid did not rule out the possibility based on the achievements and experience in the polls in Melaka and Johor.
