  • Bersatu will use its own logo in the upcoming Negeri Sembilan state election.
  • The decision follows Bersatu's exclusion from seat allocation talks within the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, chaired by Pas.
  • Bersatu's president expressed disappointment over the PN chairman's failure to convene a Supreme Council meeting to discuss the coalition's direction.

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) has decided to contest the upcoming Negeri Sembilan state election using its own party logo. This move comes after Bersatu was excluded from discussions regarding seat allocation within the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition.

Bersatu President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin stated that a meeting of the PN Seat Negotiation Committee for the Negeri Sembilan election, scheduled for July 12, was postponed. He attributed this to Pas's stance on cooperating with Barisan Nasional (BN), a decision Bersatu believes should have been discussed and agreed upon by the PN Supreme Council.

Muhyiddin expressed regret that the PN Supreme Council has not been convened to determine the party's direction during this critical election period. He noted that the failure to hold this meeting contradicts the PN Constitution and is particularly concerning given the upcoming state elections.

Following Pas's unilateral decision, Bersatu has resolved to use its own logo. Additionally, the party is open to other political parties using the Bersatu symbol in the Negeri Sembilan election, with the Supreme Council granting the president the authority to approve such requests.
