The seat distribution between BN and Pakatan Harapan for the Terengganu state election has been completed, said Terengganu Umno liaison committee chairperson Ahmad Said.

He said the distribution of seats was completed within a month following three discussions and the decision was submitted to the top leadership to be discussed and decided between the coalition chiefs.

“Both will now discuss (the distribution)... So, just wait... let them finish it,” he said.

He was speaking at the launch of the Marang Umno division level 2023 state poll machinery at Wakaf Tapai, in Marang, Terengganu yesterday.

The event was also attended by Terengganu PKR leadership council chairperson Azan Ismail.

According to Ahmad Said (above), BN has also shortlisted the candidates who will vie for the state assembly seats in the next state polls.

Meanwhile, he denied news reports alleging his team had already announced former menteri besar Ahmad Razif Abd Rahman as a candidate in the upcoming polls.

“I only proposed it because he is the incumbent in his area. It’s up to the party to decide… we suggested (not announce that he is a candidate),” he added.

On Friday (June 2), a daily reported that Razif was announced as the first BN candidate to contest in the election to defend the Seberang Takir state seat.

Ahmad allegedly made the announcement at the launch of the Kuala Nerus Umno division election machinery.
