Pahang Pakatan Harapan (PH) has agreed to cooperate with the state Barisan Nasional (BN) to form the Pahang government after the 15th general election (GE15) resulted in a hung assembly.

The matter was confirmed by Pahang DAP chairman Leong Ngah Ngah.

"Yes, Pahang PH has agreed to cooperate with Pahang BN, but we are awaiting the official decision from the central leadership," he said.

In GE15, BN obtained 16 seats while PH won eight with six from DAP while Perikatan Nasional obtained 17.

There are 42 seats in Pahang state assembly although polling for the Tioman state seat will be held on Dec 7, following the death of PN candidate Md Yunus Ramli on polling day.
