Umno needs to move on from Muafakat’s uncertainty: Zahid

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Umno has to move on from the uncertainty that Muafakat Nasional is mired in, seeing that its political partner PAS has paired up with rival coalition Perikatan Nasional (PN) to face the next general election, said Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He reiterated this a week after hinting that seats in the upcoming general election would be a “free-for-all”, and negotiations to form the government could be done after the election results were out.

“Umno’s resolution following the general assembly was to not work with Bersatu in the next election, but PAS’ leadership declared its loyalty to Bersatu and its president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin after joining PN – knowing the agenda behind the formation of Bersatu.

“Umno also has to face facts – the uncertainties in MN are a hindrance to preparations ahead of the next general election.
