26 BN MPs attend meeting with PH

KUALA LUMPUR - A total of 26 Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs attend the meeting between the party and Pakatan Harapan (PH) at a hotel, here, today.

However, two MPs were not present as they were unwell.

It was reported that PH and BN were expected to finalise their cooperation today when the leaders of both coalitions met earlier this morning.

The 15th General Election (GE15) held on Saturday ended in a hung parliament with no party securing a clear majority to form the new federal government.

The official results showed that PH won 82 seats followed by Perikatan Nasional (PN) with 73 seats.

BN which became the government since the country's independence had been defeated in the GE14 in 2018 and this time, it only secured 30 seats.
