PKR delegates question Umno sincerity and loyalty as Unity Government partner
AYER KEROH: Umno came under criticism from PKR delegates at the party’s 2026 National Congress today, with some questioning its sincerity and loyalty as a partner in the Unity Government and accusing it of “stabbing PKR in the back”.
In the closing days of the party's 2026 National Congress, PKR delegates voiced serious doubts about Umno's commitment and reliability as a partner in the Unity Government. Several delegates accused Umno of "stabbing PKR in the back," expressing frustration that their cooperation in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) alliance had not translated into electoral success, especially in the recent Johor and Negri Sembilan state elections.
Selangor PKR representative Danish Hairudin highlighted what he called Umno's "lack of sincerity and solidarity," stressing that political cooperation should not compromise PKR's interests or dignity. Danish contended that while a federal-level partnership was necessary for stability, it should not erode the party's political identity.
He argued that the grassroots wanted stronger, more decisive leadership from PKR and warned that the party would not tolerate attacks from Umno, echoing its past 20 years of conflict.
