PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) component parties will contest next month’s Melaka state election under the PH banner.

The coalition also said they had agreed on seat allocations, with PKR to contest in 11 seats, Amanah nine and DAP eight.

“Our decision for Melaka is that we have agreed to contest under the PH logo,” said PKR president Anwar Ibrahim today.

“All of us will contest with one logo, one stance and one manifesto.”

He was speaking at a joint press conference with other members of the PH presidential council – DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu.

Melaka goes to the polls on Nov 20, with a total of 28 state seats up for grabs. The nomination day is set for Nov 8.

It was previously reported that there were differences within the coalition over a unified logo for the election, with DAP leader Liew Chin Tong alluding to factions within PKR pushing for PH candidates to contest under PKR’s flag.
