BN Chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated that the remaining seats will be finalized and announced after the talks conclude. "We have discussions with other parties. Tomorrow will be determined and announced tomorrow night," he told reporters.

BN Deputy Chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan echoed this sentiment, confirming that the party's limited candidate announcement was a direct result of waiting for the outcome of their discussions with PN.
