00:00As the name of President PAS, we certainly will be doing the same thing.
00:10We hope not only that we will be joined by the two sides,
00:19so that we can support the leadership of the two parties.
00:25Barisan National Chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says BN members and supporters
00:31will vote for Perikatan National candidates in the 11 Negeri Sembilan seats BN is not contesting.
00:38Speaking to reporters after a Felda event in Jempol,
00:42Zahid described the reciprocal support between BN and PN as part of the current political reality.
00:49The move follows past President Abdul Hadi Awang's directive for PN members and supporters
00:54to back BN in the state election as they did in Johor.
00:59In his speech earlier, Zahid described PN as BN's new partner.
01:03He added that their cooperation reflected a new political approach
01:07and an opportunity to realize Malay-Muslim unity.
01:11Zahid stressed that this did not mean BN was rejecting other races, religions or parties,
01:17with both coalitions remaining part of a plural society.
01:22Negeri Sembilan goes to the polls on August 1, with Pakatan Harapan contesting all 36 seats.
01:29BN will contest 25 seats, while PN will contest the remaining 11 under their electoral understanding.
