KUANTAN, Oct 18 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) has yet to reach any concrete agreement on possible political cooperation with other parties for the November 14 Melaka state election.

Datuk Fuziah Salleh, who is Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) secretary-general, said, however, that seat-allocation negotiations among its three component parties — PKR, DAP and Amanah — had been finalised.

She said PH was expected to contest more than 20 state seats, with nine allocated to PKR.

“So far, there has been no concrete agreement on political cooperation with other parties. Seat allocation negotiations among PKR, DAP and Amanah have been completed,” she said.

Fuziah, who is also deputy domestic trade and cost of living minister, was speaking at a press conference after closing the Akses Peruncitan 2026 programme at a hotel here today.

She said PH chairman and PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was scheduled to announce the coalition’s list of candidates in Melaka on October 24.

The Election Commission has set October 31 for nomination, November 10 for early voting and November 14 for polling. 

In the 2021 state election, Barisan Nasional (BN) won 21 of the 28 seats to form the state government, while PH secured five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) won two. — Bernama
