Muhyiddin: No more seat negotiations with PAS

(The Star) – Pakatan Harapan is no longer negotiating about seats contested in the next general election with PAS, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

“They have shown no interest in working with Pakatan Harapan so we have to just leave it at that,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday.

He added that Pakatan Harapan is ready for the next general election even if it is called tomorrow.

“It can be tomorrow or it can be next year, the most important thing is that you must be ready and we are,” said the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president.

However when asked if seat negotiations within Pakatan Harapan had been resolved, Muhyiddin said such negotiations were still ongoing.

On another matter, Muhyiddin said there is no confusion over the leadership of Pakatan Harapan.

“Be it Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim or Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, their positions all serve a purpose.

“Their duties are clear and we work as a team. For us internally, it is not confusing,” he said.

Muhyiddin said the leadership was decided by consensus among component parties.

“All our suggestions were considered and the presidential council made a decision, one that was accepted by all,” he said.

Last week, Pakatan Harapan announced that Anwar would be its de facto leader, Dr Mahathir its chairman and Dr Wan Azizah its president.
