PETALING JAYA: Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin has said the party does not wish to be forced to accept anyone as its political partner.

Speaking on Umno’s cooperation with PAS under Muafakat Nasional (MN), Khaled expressed hope that PAS would respect the party’s stance against PPBM.

He said Umno’s current priority was achieving a double victory with PAS in the next general election, and that its cooperation with other parties was based on a “formula” that would give the party a “strategic advantage”.

“Umno is confident that PAS will not force Umno to accept PPBM, let alone simply give up seats to PPBM,” he said in a statement.
