Perikatan Nasional cleared to use PAS logo in Melaka election

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has been given the go-ahead to utilise PAS's logo in the Melaka state election, according to the coalition's election director Sanusi Nor. The decision comes after PN's formal deregistration as a political coalition, which had prompted questions about how the partnership would identify itself during the campaign. Sanusi said the use of PAS's logo would maintain voter recognition, given its strong association with the Islamic party's base in the state. The move underscores PN's continued operational coordination between its constituent parties despite the administrative change to its status. Melaka is scheduled to hold state elections following the dissolution of the state assembly, with the poll representing a significant political contest in the southern region. PN's ability to leverage the recognisable PAS branding is expected to be strategically important in maintaining voter identification with the coalition's candidates.
