Bersatu must repair PN ties ahead of GE16, says Perlis MB
KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu must mend ties with its Perikatan Nasional (PN) partners and review its strategy ahead of the 16th General Election (GE16), said Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah.
Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah has urged Bersatu to mend ties with Perikatan Nasional (PN) partners and reconsider its strategy before the 16th General Election (GE16), as reported by Utusan Malaysia. Abu Bakar emphasized that Bersatu cannot succeed independently and that going solo in the election would make victory impossible.
He called for Bersatu to review its actions, including the expulsion of members and its relationship with PN component parties. The party leadership could explore various options, but any decision would hinge on the current political climate. It was reiterated that Bersatu would remain part of PN unless the central leadership decided otherwise.
The representatives of Bersatu in Perlis are bound by the anti-party-hopping law, and any decision on the party's future will be made after the state legislative assembly is dissolved. Earlier, Abu Bakar confirmed that cooperation among PN members, including Bersatu, Pas, Gerakan, Pejuang, and MIPP, remained intact, with no decision by the coalition's Supreme Council to the contrary.
Abu Bakar, serving as the state party chairman and Kangar division chief, had resigned from the Bersatu Supreme Council on July 9.
