Bersatu to remain in PN

PETALING JAYA: Bersatu will continue to stay within the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, its president Muhyiddin Yassin said, reaffirming the party’s commitment despite recent political tensions within the bloc.

Muhyiddin stressed that Bersatu’s position was based the opposition coalition’s reputation.

“PN is a strong brand, and we will continue to remain within PN.

“It is a (coalition) that has fought for the people, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the assistance that was provided.

“No party can expel Bersatu from PN, because one party alone cannot remove another. There must be consensus,” he told a press conference after the party’s Supreme Council meeting here tonight.

PN’s most dominant party, PAS, ended its political cooperation with Bersatu last week, leaving the coalition’s status in limbo.

PN was founded shortly after Muhyiddin was appointed prime minister in February 2020 following the collapse of the federal government led by Pakatan Harapan, which Bersatu used to be a component of.
