PERIKATAN Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin said it is too early to discuss the possibility of working with Barisan Nasional (BN) should there be no clear winner after the election.

The former prime minister said, for now, PN would take the wait-and-see approach, following BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s statement on BN’s willingness to work with any coalition should it be unable to secure a majority.

“I want to wait and see because this is just the first day (of campaign). Right now, I dare not say yes or no. This is not my prerogative as Bersatu president, because we have PN,” he said in Muar last night.

Muhyiddin said it would have to be discussed at the PN leadership council first.

Zahid is reported to have said that BN was ready for “whatever method” as long as it could form a politically stable government. – Bernama, November 6, 2022.
