KUALA LUMPUR - Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders will meet this month to discuss seat allocation for the upcoming state polls.

"The coalition party in PH will finalise it, and we (BN) will finalise it by the end of this month," Umno president Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi said.

When asked about the seat allocation for BN for the upcoming state elections, the Bagan Datuk MP further said that it was in the final discussion.

He further elaborated that the Barisan Nasional (BN) will meet the Pakatan Harapan on the matter.

"BN leadership will hold negotiations with PH. The coalition in the PH party and among us (BN) will also finalise it at the end of this month," Zahid said during a press conference during the Umno general meeting assembly at the World Trade Centre (WTC) today.

He also said that the negotiation will be done with the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibahim, who is also the PH chairman, when he is available.
