SERI KEMBANGAN – The formation of political cooperation with Pakatan Harapan or Perikatan Nasional is one of the matters that will be discussed at Pejuang’s general assembly today.
Pejuang president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said political cooperation is one of the five options the party will consider in preparation for the upcoming elections in six states.
“Other options are to go solo at the polls, and Pejuang will have the chance to win if we focus on contesting in a few seats in certain states,” he said when delivering his policy speech at the party’s general assembly here.
Mukhriz said that Pejuang could also continue to contest as a component party in Gerakan Tanah Air or opt out from contesting in state polls.
He elaborated that opting out will give Pejuang time to strengthen the party while aiming to contest in the next general election.
“This proposal is to protect the party from losing three times in a row in a short period of time,” he said.
Pejuang had contested 42 seats in the Johor election and 125 parliamentary seats in the 15th general election but lost all of them. – Bernama, January 14, 2023
