MATTERS pertaining to the cooperation between Bersatu and Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) in the 15th General Election (GE15) need to be discussed with all parties including Perikatan Nasional (PN) component parties. 

Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin said if Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin was willing to work with Pejuang, he needed to bring the matter to the party’s highest meeting. 

“We can’t easily say yes because we still have friends in the coalition,” the home minister told a press conference after launching the 2022 National Registration Day today. 

Previously, Muhyiddin said Bersatu was ready to consider cooperation with Pejuang in GE15 if the party was serious about the matter. 

PN comprises Bersatu, PAS, Gerakan, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku, and Parti Maju Sabah. 

Meanwhile, Hamzah said political parties could hold talks and campaigning activities provided they complied with the standard operating procedures and laws set by the authorities – Bernama, October 17, 2022.
