  "account": "PN Secretary Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has stated that Bersatu remains a constituent party of PN, contradicting PAS President Hadi Awang's claim that Bersatu is automatically removed from the bloc. The PN position has not changed despite claims that the party's membership is ending in preparation for forming a new political coalition.\n\nSamsuri emphasized that as of today, Bersatu is still a member of PN. The statement was reported by Utusan Malaysia at the PAS Perak Convention 23 in Taiping. Last Friday, Hadi alleged that Bersatu is automatically expelled from PN without a formal letter or party conference decision, as the party announced the formation of a new coalition. Such action would independently terminate a party's eligibility under PN's charter principles.\n\nHowever, Bersatu General Secretary Azmin Ali disputed Hadi's claim, saying there are no clauses in PN's charter that automatically end a party's membership. Bersatu Communications Director Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz also denied the assertion, stating the party plans to submit a report to the Malaysian Societies Registration Department (RoS) regarding its PN constituent party status. Referring to Faisal's remark, Samsuri mentioned Bersatu is entitled to take any necessary steps it deems appropriate.",
