Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan said Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Mohamad Hasan are still seeking feedback before the party makes a decision on whether they will go into the Malacca election alone or not.
He said this in response to a question about Zahid's remarks on the matter and Mohamad's recent meeting with several PAS leaders.
Previously it was reported that Zahid has stated publicly that they will not work with Bersatu during the Malacca elections but he only gave a vague remark about PAS.
Zahid had said that the Muafakat pact is not a registered political party and he does not see a "cahaya terang" (bright light) for the pact, unlike previous by-elections.
On October 12, Mohamad had shared a photograph of him sharing a meal with several PAS leaders, he had described the session as an "ordinary meet-up over teh tarik" after a long absence.
