MELAKA: Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional are lining up several major campaign events in a final push to win over Melaka voters, with PAS confident that support for their Muafakat Melaka pact will grow before polling day.
Melaka PAS commissioner Zulkifli Ismail said the campaign teams of Barisan and Perikatan had worked closely together in the first week and would step up their efforts in the remaining days.
“I am confident that over the next few days, our campaign efforts will bring voter support for Muafakat Melaka to its highest level,” he told a press conference at the Melaka PAS headquarters in Semabok here on Monday (Nov 9).
Zulkifli also dismissed a claim by Parti Bersama Malaysia co-founder Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli that Umno and PAS had never managed to share power for more than three years.
Rafizi made the remarks at a ceramah in Pengkalan Batu on Sunday (Nov 8).
Zulkifli said the length of the parties’ previous cooperation was a poor measure of their current commitment.
He said those working to bring PAS and Umno together intended for the partnership to last beyond the state election.
The Election Commission (EC) has set early voting for Nov 10 and polling day for Nov 14. Campaigning ends at 11.59pm on Nov 13.
