KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) could lose more seats at the 15th general election than in 2018 if the two insist on contesting against current allies, PAS vice-president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said.

Mohd Amar, who is also Kelantan deputy mentri besar, said in an Utusan Malaysia report today that no Malay-based party was dominant enough to win alone and Umno’s decision could deny the community its political power.

“I expect Umno may lose more seats if it contests solo. That is why PAS wants to form a coalition with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) and Umno at GE15 later.

“Bersatu cannot win if there’s no coalition. So does Umno. So we hope that both parties alongside PAS will find common ground to resolve differences of opinion,” he was quoted saying by the Malay daily newspaper.
