The deputy chairman of Barisan Nasional has addressed concerns over access restrictions imposed at the candidate nomination centre for the upcoming Melaka state election, explaining that confusion arose from a misunderstanding of the permitted areas.
According to the official, party leadership had been informed by the Election Commission that they were allowed to access the nomination centre's premises. However, this access did not extend to the nomination hall where the formal candidate registration process takes place.
The clarification comes as political parties prepare for the state election, with the nomination process representing a critical stage in candidate selection. The Election Commission had set specific protocols to maintain order and ensure the integrity of the nomination procedures.
BN officials had previously raised questions about the access restrictions, prompting the deputy chairman's statement to resolve any misinterpretation regarding which areas party representatives could enter during the nomination period.
