KUCHING: Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today reiterated his stance on the coalition’s cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the upcoming Sabah state election. He assured that there will be no overlap of seats between the two coalitions and that logos will be used according to their respective parties.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Zahid stated, “We will apply the same formula for seat distribution and collaboration with other coalitions, such as Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).” He emphasized the coalition’s openness to negotiations, while ensuring the process remains controlled. “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.
The Deputy Prime Minister also stressed the importance of official communication, noting that any statements representing BN and PH must come from the coalition leaders, rather than individual pa
rty 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 clarified.
