PAS motion on cooperation could put pressure on Umno, says analyst
Tawfik Yaakub says the motion could pressure Umno and influence perceptions among its grassroots, although the party is not obliged to discuss a similar motion at its own general assembly.
An analyst suggests that a mandatory motion on cooperation between PAS and Umno at PAS’s upcoming muktamar could put pressure on Umno to respond. The timing of this motion, set to take place just days before Umno’s general assembly, gives PAS the opportunity to set the narrative on cooperation first. If the muktamar supports strong cooperation, attention will shift to Umno afterwards.
However, Umno is not obligated to bring a similar motion to its own assembly, given its different political position and commitments within the unity government. The pressure on Umno is seen more as grassroots pressure and perception, rather than an organizational obligation to follow PAS’s decision.
