KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — The Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition plans to field candidates from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) in the upcoming 16th General Election (GE16), according to BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. In an address at the Malaysia PPP Deepavali Open House, Zahid emphasized the partnership between PPP and other coalition members, including Umno, MCA, and MIC.
He stressed that the PPP remains an integral part of BN, stating, "In my heart, alongside our partners from Umno, MCA and MIC, the PPP is also our partner." Zahid's commitment to fielding PPP candidates was reinforced after MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran and MIC deputy president Datuk Seri M. Saravanan agreed to the alliance.
This news comes after the Registrar of Societies officially confirmed PPP's status as a component party of BN on November 25, 2025.
