PUTRAJAYA – Bersatu is ready to consider cooperation with Pejuang in the 15th general election (GE15), said its president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin, who is also Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman, said cooperation is possible if Pejuang is serious about the matter, but confirmed that so far Pejuang had not contacted him to discuss it.
“So far, no one has contacted me regarding the matter. Furthermore, we are already in the preparation phase; we had discussed the matter before, but nothing happened after that. I’m not sure whether the proposal (to collaborate) is serious or not.
“If there are parties that are serious (about political cooperation), we are willing to consider. However, that is not my call because the matter needs to be brought to the Bersatu supreme council first to decide whether (cooperation) is necessary or not.
“Overall, where PN is concerned, we are ready (for GE15),” he told reporters after officiating a seminar titled “National Recovery and Social Inclusion” here today.
He said this when asked to comment on the statement by Pejuang chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that his party would consider political cooperation with other parties considered “similar” to Pejuang to oppose Umno and Barisan Nasional. – Bernama, October 13, 2022
