SEREMBAN – The decision by Barisan Nasional (BN) to contest the Negeri Sembilan state election (PRN) through an informal alliance with Perikatan Nasional (PN), under the banner of Malay unity, has been criticised as evidence that both coalitions are running out of substantive policy offerings to convince voters.
AMK Communications director Nurhanani Dhamirah Razaleh said that after failing to challenge the Negeri Sembilan government's administrative record under Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, BN and PN had reverted to what she described as outdated, divisive political narratives.
She said Aminuddin's leadership had demonstrated its ability to govern the state steadily, strengthen the state economy and implement various initiatives that have directly benefited the people.
"The BN-PN alliance has also failed to provide certainty over who would lead the state government if they win.
"The contest for the Menteri Besar's post risks triggering disputes and internal conflict, repeating episodes of political instability that would ultimately affect governance and the people's livelihoods," she said in a statement on Thursday.
Nurhanani added that Negeri Sembilan should not be turned into a battleground for power struggles among leaders united only by political interests.
She said the people needed a stable and credible government that remained fully focused on the economy, job creation and public welfare.
"Therefore, the state government under Aminuddin's leadership remains the best choice.
"Support for him is not only based on his proven administrative record, but also sends a clear message that the people reject politics driven by rhetoric, power plays and BN's actions, which led to this state election being called," she said.
