State polls: Overlapping seats between PH and BN resolved, says Zahid

PUTRAJAYA: Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan have resolved all issues concerning overlapping seats, says Barisan chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said that with all issues settled, Barisan would now turn its focus to the polls.

However, he declined to reveal the "contentious" constituencies, believed to involve one or two seats.

"It is an internal matter between Barisan and Pakatan. Let us settle it among ourselves. In fact, it has already been settled," he told reporters on Thursday (July 13).

Asked if the seats in question were given to Barisan, Ahmad Zahid said it did not matter who got the seats but that parties in the unity government practised togetherness, understanding and give and take.
