KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan will lead negotiations with other parties in the unity government for seat allocations in six upcoming state elections, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Umno president, who is also BN chairman, said he was leaving it to Mohamad to lead the negotiations.
"We leave it to the wisdom of the Umno deputy president (Mohamad) for the negotiations,” he said in his mandate in conjunction with Umno’s 77th anniversary celebrations here Thursday (May 11) night.
The six states where elections are due this year are Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.
On the Unity Government National Convention this Sunday (May 14), Ahmad Zahid said all 148 MPs backing the current government will be attending the event where Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to deliver an important speech. - Bernama
