PN’s suspension will have little bearing on PAS, say analysts
However, Azmi Hassan says it may pose a challenge for Hamzah Zainudin’s Wawasan.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) has been suspended by the Registrar of Societies, which is unlikely to affect the upcoming Melaka state election, according to political analyst Azmi Hassan. However, the suspension may pose a challenge for Hamzah Zainudin’s Wawasan, which is unfamiliar to Melaka voters. The suspension was a result of a complaint lodged by Bersatu and was intended to safeguard PN's interests.
PN is currently chaired by PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, and if PAS cannot get the coalition together, it could face deregistration. Analyst James Chin believes that PN's suspension will not impact seat negotiations between PAS and Umno, but the bigger concern is whether PAS can keep PN united. International Islamic University Malaysia analyst Syaza Shukri stated that PN is in a mess and might have to revert to contesting under its own logos in the Melaka state election.
