Johor Pakatan open to any discussion for state elections, says deputy chairman Teo
JOHOR BARU, May 17 — Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) is open to any discussion regarding political cooperation for the upcoming state election, its deputy chairman Teo Ni Ching said today. However, Teo said that the coalition does not know the exact date for the state election to be held. 'I am not sure when the state election will be held, but we in the DAP are open to having discussions on political cooperation,' she told reporters after an event here. Teo, who is also the Johor DAP chairman, was present at the event in her official capacity as the Deputy Communications Minister. She said PH and DAP have until today still maintained their role of carrying out checks and balances in this state legislature. 'This matter is very clear. In 2024, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke attended the Johor DAP convocation, where he announced that the party will not demand any positions in the state government. 'So, we will continue to play the check-and-balance role in Johor,' she said. Recently, Johor Parti Amanah Negara's Zuhan Zain was reported claiming that Johor PH is prepared to contest on its own without the need to collaborate with any political coalition for the upcoming state election. Zuhan, who is also the Kluang Amanah chief, said he sees the possibility that PH can contest in all the seats in Johor if they were to contest without any political allies. He cited the current political climate in the country as an advantage for Johor PH to contest on its own. In the previous state election, PH won 13 of the 56 available Johor state seats, while Barisan Nasional (BN) won 40 state seats, followed by Perikatan Nasional (PN) with three seats.
