KUALA LUMPUR - Barisan Nasional will hold a discussion tonight on the distribution of seats for the upcoming state elections, Umno president Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi said.
Zahid explained that the meeting which will be held at Menara Dato Onn, World Trade Centre (WTC) was to get the views from all the component parties on the allocation of seats that could be considered for them in the upcoming state elections.
"If we look at the new political reality, we have to look at the togetherness of all the component parties that are in this Madani government.
"Most of the parties are from the Peninsular, so the togetherness, understanding, and compatibility of all the parties is very important.
"We will also gather on May 14 and we will see the statements of the coalition parties in this Madani government," he said this during a press conference after Umno’s 77th Anniversary Celebration at Surau Ar Rahman, Menara Dato Onn, WTC on Thursday.
On Sunday, Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) representatives will decide on a number of matters involving State Elections (PRN) in six states in the near future, said PH Chairman, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
