KUALA TERENGGANU:
Informal discussions on state elections have been held between PKR and Umno at the state level, including in Terengganu, says PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli.

He said the discussions were mainly a familiarisation process between the leadership of the two parties and did not involve any decisions or principles regarding the state elections.

“(Discussions on the state elections) are not yet official. The current discussions at the state level are unofficial.”

He said in Terengganu, PKR’s Kelantan and Terengganu leadership council chairman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad had already met with Terengganu Umno liaison committee chairman Ahmad Said.

The economic affairs minister said this to reporters after officiating the Terengganu PKR election convention at the Islamic Civilisation Park here today.

Rafizi said the decision on state elections, including seat distribution and the use of logos, would be formally discussed by the leaders of both parties at the central level.
