Pas, Bersatu lack power to expel each other from PN

The political landscape in Malaysia sees Pas and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) unable to expel each other from the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. This inability stems directly from the provisions within the coalition's own constitution.

Furthermore, neither Pas nor Bersatu possesses the authority to unilaterally dismiss another member party. Any such action would require the consensus of all PN member parties, as stipulated by the coalition's governing document. This constitutional safeguard ensures that no single party can arbitrarily remove another from the alliance.

This framework also prevents Pas or Bersatu from colluding with smaller parties like Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan) and Parti Rakyat India Malaysia (MIPP) to force the expulsion of another member. The requirement for consensus remains paramount, meaning that any attempt to oust a party would need broad agreement across the coalition.
