THE formation of political cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) or Perikatan Nasional (PN) is one of the matters that will be discussed at the Pejuang General Assembly today.

Pejuang president 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 a few seats in certain states,” he said when delivering his policy speech at the party’s general assembly in Seri Kembangan.

Mukhriz said Pejuang could also continue to contest as a component party of Gerakan Tanah Air or opt out of the state polls.

He said opting out would give Pejuang time to strengthen itself and prepare for 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.

Before this, Pejuang contested 42 seats in the Johor polls and 125 parliamentary seats in the November general election but lost in all of them. – Bernama, January 14, 2023.
