PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan is unlikely to make way for Barisan Nasional in the 40 state seats it won in 2018 ahead of seat negotiations for the upcoming Selangor polls, says an Amanah leader.
Amanah central leadership committee member Sany Hamzan said it would be impossible for Pakatan to allow Barisan to contest in any of the 40 seats it currently held, except if there is a viable seat swap for both coalitions.
“ if there is a seat swap between seats that are won by both coalitions,” said the Taman Templer assemblyman when contacted Sunday . “But I think discussions are currently focused on seats won by Perikatan Nasional’s Bersatu and PAS,” added Sany.Sany is expecting the state election to be held in June, with the state assembly being dissolved in May.Regardless of the outcome of the seat negotiations, Sany said every leader has to abide by the decision made by top leaders.“In my opinion, it isn’t wise for us to give up the seats we won ,” added Sany.
The six states that will be holding polls are Perikatan-held Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, and Pakatan’s Selangor, Penang and Negri Sembilan. Kelantan state assembly’s five-year term will expire on June 9, Terengganu on Sept 1 and Kedah on Sept 4.
