AYER KEROH: The Umno-PAS clashes in the coming Melaka polls do not mean that the two parties cannot work together for the next general election (GE15), according to Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.

In an interview with FMT, Mohamad, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy chairman, disclosed that the party had tried to avoid clashing with its Muafakat Nasional (MN) ally.

“We reached out to PAS to ask it to be with us,” Mohamad said. “We offered it seats although it did not win anything in Melaka in GE14.”

In the Nov 20 state election, Umno and PAS will clash in seven contests.
