KUALA LUMPUR: Strong cooperation between the Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional machinery can help the coalition secure victory in the 16th Melaka election
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said he was confident that voters in the state wanted an outcome favouring BN and PN.
While all contesting parties were confident of winning, the actual outcome would only be known after voting was completed, he added.
“If you ask me, as someone from BN-PN, I would say BN-PN will win. If you ask the other side, they would also say they will win. So, let us wait for polling day.
“But we are confident that the people want the outcome to favour BN and PN,” he said when asked to comment on the prospects of BN-PN cooperation in the 16th Melaka election.
In the previous Melaka election, BN won 21 of the 28 state assembly seats contested, forming the state government with a two-thirds majority.
For the upcoming election, BN and PN have entered into a strategic cooperation, with BN contesting 23 seats and PN five.
