Number of clashing seats for Sarawak polls reduced, says Pakatan Harapan

Pakatan Harapan says it has resolved several seat clashes in the coming Sarawak state election, following a meeting between representatives of the three parties. Negotiations on the seat allocations were ongoing, but they all agreed that their aim was to ensure a straight fight with Barisan Nasional (BN) in all constituencies, said Pakatan Harapan chief secretary Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. "The discussions were held in a harmonious, calm atmosphere, full of laughter, and I can report that the discussions over the seat allocations are improving. "Everyone knows there are clashes between all three parties. But a portion of them were resolved today," Saifuddin told a press conference in Shah Alam today after the meeting. He said Pakatan Harapan also agreed to take into consideration the fact that PAS intended to contest several seats in Sarawak. – February 19, 2016. MORE TO COME]]>
