SEREMBAN: Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun says he is okay with a proposal that political parties be allowed to defend their seats in the coming state polls in Negri Sembilan.He said that he agreed with the view of state DAP chairman Anthony Loke.
“If we follow that principle, we will not have to overcome many issues in our talks.
“But we are open and will discuss with the others,” he told reporters after attending the Negri DAP convention here yesterday.
Asked if he had held talks with state Barisan Nasional chief Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, Aminuddin – who is a PKR vice-president – said they had yet to meet.
“We will hold talks with the relevant parties and forward the suggestions to the Pakatan Harapan presidential council before a final decision is made,” he said.
Aminuddin also said he would meet his counterparts from the five other states soon to discuss suitable dates on the dissolution of the respective state assemblies.
Asked if he would be defending the Sikamat seat, the state Pakatan and PKR chief said it was too early to decide.
In the 2018 general election, Pakatan won 20 state seats in Negri with Barisan taking the remaining 16 seats.
