IT is not possible for Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) to establish cooperation and form a government with Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH) or Perikatan Nasional (PN) after the 2022 general election, Dr Mahathir Mohamad said.

The GTA pro tem chairman said this was because the coalition only wished to collaborate with like-minded political party leaders, so it was impossible for it to work with leaders or parties mired in corruption.

The Pejuang chairman said with regard to Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), GTA would study further if the coalition that formed the state government was interested to collaborate after the polls.

“We have to choose parties and leaders that we can cooperate with and it’s impossible to cooperate with BN, PH and PN,” he said after a ceramah held by Sabah Pejuang, in Papar today.

Also present were his wife, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, and Sabah Pejuang chief, Nicholas Sylvester.

GTA comprises four political parties – Pejuang, Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra), Parti Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Berjasa) and Parti Perikatan India Muslim Nasional (Iman), as well as a number of civil society groups that make up Gagasan Bangsa (GB).

In coming general election, GTA candidates will contest using the Pejuang logo except in Kelantan where they will use the Putra logo. – Bernama, November 7, 2022.
