Pejuang discusses cooperation with other parties for state elections

Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) is actively exploring collaborations with several political parties in preparation for the upcoming Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections. The party's primary objective is to prevent electoral contests between parties that champion Malay interests and to consolidate the Malay vote.

The feedback received so far has been quite positive, as some parties are open to the idea of direct cooperation and are willing to consider it.

Pejuang President Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir stated that discussions have already taken place with three parties, with more engagements planned. He noted that while some potential overlaps exist, these issues are being addressed through negotiation. "The feedback received so far has been quite positive, as some parties are open to the idea of direct cooperation and are willing to consider it," Mukhriz said.

The party intends to field candidates in both Johor and Negeri Sembilan but plans to contest a limited number of seats based on its capacity. This strategic approach allows Pejuang to prepare more effectively without setting overly ambitious seat targets. "We measure our cloth according to our size," Mukhriz explained, emphasizing a focused preparation within a short timeframe. "We do not intend to contest many seats, which is why the necessary preparations are easier to manage in a short period. We want to ensure Malay votes are not split."

Mukhriz also viewed the recent increase in Pejuang branches in Kelantan as a positive sign, indicating the party still holds public trust despite competition from various other political entities. The party is carefully assessing which parties and candidates are best positioned to gain voter support in specific areas.
