PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has declared that Bersatu has automatically lost its Perikatan Nasional membership following the party's intention to form a new coalition. Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali disputes this, asserting the party remains a legitimate member.
Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has defended the electoral alliance between Perikatan Nasional and Barisan Nasional in Negri Sembilan, contending that their partnership prioritises constituent welfare over ideological disagreements.
Bersatu's decision to field candidates in 24 of Negri Sembilan's seats independently marks a strategic pivot, positioning the party as a viable alternative distinct from both Pakatan Harapan and the Barisan Nasional-Perikatan Nasional alliance.
Negri Sembilan's election will test Bersatu's political standing as the party navigates uncertain alliance dynamics with BN and PN, with 103 candidates competing for 36 state seats.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has condemned political figures in Negri Sembilan he characterises as 'traitors' for allegedly orchestrating efforts to undermine the caretaker government of Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
