Perlis Umno wants to go solo at next polls, says PN incompetent

Perlis Umno chief Rozabil Abd Rahman has declared that Perlis voters gave the People's Alliance (PN) a chance to govern but the people have yet to witness substantial development. Perlis Umno plans to contest the state's 15 seats and three parliamentary seats independently in the upcoming elections, rather than joining forces with Perikatan Nasional (PN).

The state Umno chief revealed there have been no formal discussions with PN, although some parties have attempted to contact him for a meeting. Perlis Umno's strategy is to contest all seats, marking a clear stance for now. The previous Barisan Nasional administration had its flaws, but Rozabil believes there is a significant difference between the two.

PN's coalition in the Negeri Sembilan polls resulted in a strong victory, achieving a two-thirds majority.
