Dissolve Parti Bersama, youth leader urges, citing lack of public trust and electoral absence

A prominent youth leader has strongly urged the dissolution of the Parti Bersama, arguing that the party has consistently failed to earn public confidence and has shown an unwillingness to consistently test its support in elections. Mohd. Shafiq Iqram Abdullah, an executive committee member of Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK), stated that the party's irrelevance is evident.

He pointed to Parti Bersama's lack of success in the Johor state election and its decision not to contest in Negeri Sembilan as clear indicators that the party has not demonstrated significant added value to the national political landscape. "The people do not need another party that merely acts as a political commentator," Shafiq said. "The people want parties willing to engage, face the public's scrutiny, and prove their capabilities through democratic processes."

Shafiq further elaborated that if a party cannot secure public trust and is unwilling to consistently challenge itself in elections, its relevance comes into question. He noted that the Johor election results served as the public's first referendum on Parti Bersama, and the message was clear: the party is not seen as a serious contender against established parties.

Adding to the concern, Shafiq highlighted Parti Bersama's decision to abstain from the Negeri Sembilan election following its disappointing performance in Johor. This raises questions about whether the party's agenda truly serves the public interest or if it is merely a political strategy that selectively chooses its battles. "A political party cannot simply emerge to deliver political messages and disappear when it's time to gain the people's mandate," he stated. "Democracy demands consistency."
