PAS urges UMNO to collaborate in Johor polls, revive defunct political pact

PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has called on UMNO to join forces for the upcoming Johor polls, advocating for the revival of the defunct political pact, Muafakat Nasional. Tuan Ibrahim stressed the importance of cooperation between Malaysia's two largest Malay-Muslim parties to consolidate their vote base.

The appeal comes as political parties gear up for elections in Johor, a key state in Malaysian politics. Muafakat Nasional was initially formed to unite Malay-Muslim voters, a demographic crucial to electoral success in the country. Its dissolution left a void that PAS now seeks to fill through renewed collaboration with UMNO.

Tuan Ibrahim's statement highlights the ongoing efforts to forge political alliances based on shared ethnic and religious identities. The success of such collaborations could significantly shape the political landscape in Johor and potentially influence national politics.
