KUCHING: Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has reasserted his stance on the coalition's cooperation with Pakatan Harapan in the upcoming Sabah state election.
He assured that there would be no overlap of seats between the two coalitions and that they would use their respective logos.
"We will apply the same formula for seat distribution and collaboration with other coalitions, such as Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS),” he said.
"We are open to negotiations, but we won't leave the door open too widely. We are currently holding consultations with all leaders of the component parties,” he added during a press conference after attending a briefing on the Sarawak development project implementation on Sunday (Nov 3).
The Deputy Prime Minister also stressed that any statements representing Barisan and Pakatan must come from the coalition leaders, not from individual party leaders.
"As long as the coalition party leader has not made a statement, any other comments represent an individual's position and do not reflect a party decision. Those are merely personal opinions, as we have completed our negotiations at the respective party level,” he said. - Bernama
