SEREMBAN: The decision to hand the Lenggeng seat to Umno was made by the unity government leadership and this should be respected by allies in the coalition, says Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias.

The Negri Sembilan Umno chief said if Amanah, which won the Lenggeng seat in 2018, were to retaliate by contesting in the Barisan Nasional stronghold of Kota, it could work against the interests of both sides.
