Pahang BN wants unity govt with PH to last till GE16
State Barisan Nasional chairman Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail says the leadership remains committed to working with Pakatan Harapan while keeping its options open for the next general election.
Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, the current Pahang Barisan Nasional chairman and also the state's chief minister, expressed his desire for the unity government with Pakatan Harapan (PH) to persist until the 16th general election (GE16). As the menteri besar, Wan Rosdy emphasized that the state leadership will remain committed to fulfilling their responsibilities and prioritizing the well-being of the people, according to Bernama news agency.
He further stated that the Pahang BN is open to collaborating with any political party ahead of the GE16. Following his appointment to officiate an event at Wisma Sri Pahang in Kuantan, Wan Rosdy, who is also the Umno chief for Pahang, highlighted the possibility of continuing the unity government with PH until the 16th general election.
During the 15th general election, both the BN and Perikatan Nasional parties secured 17 seats each, while PH managed to win eight seats, resulting in a hung assembly with no single party able to form the state government independently. Consequently, BN formed a coalition with PH, leading to Wan Rosdy's reappointment as the menteri besar for a second term.
