  • Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi hinted at continued cooperation with Perikatan Nasional for the Melaka state election.
  • This follows their joint success in the Negeri Sembilan state election, where BN won 18 seats and PN won seven.
  • The coalition believes this success will strengthen public support for future state elections.

Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi suggested that the understanding between his coalition and Perikatan Nasional (PN) could extend to the upcoming Melaka state election. This comes after a successful joint performance in Negeri Sembilan, where BN secured 18 seats and PN won seven, giving the combined alliance a more than two-thirds majority in the state assembly.

Hamid's remarks indicated that the mandate received in Negeri Sembilan signifies a continuation of the "blue wave" that began in Johor. He expressed confidence that this momentum would carry over to Melaka, potentially solidifying public support ahead of further state elections.

The unofficial results from Negeri Sembilan showed a significant victory for the BN-PN alliance, with their 25 seats out of 36 in the state assembly. This outcome is seen as a precursor and a potential indicator of future electoral strategies for the coalition.
