NEGRI Sembilan Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Aminuddin Harun is confident discussions between PH and Barisan Nasional (BN) on seat allocation for the state elections can be resolved within the next two months. 

Aminuddin, who is also Negri Sembilan menteri besar, said there have been no issues between the two coalitions in facing the polls. 

“We are now with BN and we have had meetings … in the near future, or within a month or two, we will be able to resolve seat allocation issues, and after that, it is up to the parties to select their candidates.

“That is the type of spirit that is needed and I believe BN and PH have common ways to be respectful of whatever is decided by the leadership, that is most important,” he said after chairing the state executive council meeting in Seremban today. 

On Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement that the next Negri Sembilan menteri besar will be from Bersatu should the party win the state polls, Aminuddin said it is not unusual. 

Muyhiddin was reported to have said Bersatu will appoint its state chapter leaders to head Negri Sembilan and Selangor if the party captures both states in the upcoming state polls. – Bernama, March 15, 2023.
