Masa depan Umno bergantung kerjasama PAS, kata penganalisis

Umno dan PAS dilihat hampir tiada tandingan di kawasan majoriti Melayu apabila mereka bekerjasama.

Masa depan Umno bergantung kerjasama PAS, kata penganalisis

Analysts believe the future of Umno hinges on cooperation with PAS, according to a political commentator. The outcome of the recent Melaka by-election, which saw the BN-PN alliance win 24 out of 28 seats, highlights this partnership's importance, says James Chin from the University of Tasmania. He suggests that Malay voters, who previously split between Umno and PAS, are now more united through their collaboration, giving both parties a significant advantage in majority Malay constituencies.

Chin believes that the combined victory of the BN and PN, which included Umno and PAS, proves their strength as a united force in elections. The political analyst notes that the Malay 'tsunami' effect, demonstrated by these results, is increasingly evident in the PRN outcomes in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and now Melaka. As long as they can maintain this cooperation, Umno-PAS will certainly be in a strong position to win the 2026 general election, Chin asserts.
