PETALING JAYA: The outcome of seat negotiations between parties in the unity government in preparation for the six state elections is expected in March.
Pakatan Harapan communications director Fahmi Fadzil (pic) said unofficial talks on the seat distribution for Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu and Negri Sembilan have been going on for some time, Bernama reported.
“The process is ongoing, and I think it will be finalised by the Malaysian Unity Government Secretariat, which was set up several months ago.
“However, there might not be a simultaneous announcement as some states may announce it earlier,” the Communications and Digital Minister told reporters after opening the Selangor PKR information convention here yesterday.
On Feb 22, the heads of government of the six states reached an agreement to consider dissolving their state assemblies in the last two weeks of June this year to pave the way for state elections.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari was reported as saying that this consensus was reached during their afternoon tea session held in Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with the 261st Meeting of the Conference of Rulers.
