Question

Accepted Answer

Perikatan Nasional Did Not Consult All Component Parties on Negeri Sembilan Seat Allocations

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin stated that Perikatan Nasional (PN) sidelined Bersatu from key decisions regarding seat allocations for the Negeri Sembilan state election. Muhyiddin asserted that Bersatu's rights as a founding member were disregarded, with negotiations halted on "unreasonable" grounds and the party excluded from the final supreme council meeting where seat distribution was confirmed.
Bersatu Excluded from Final Seat Allocation Decisions

Muhyiddin explicitly stated that Bersatu was not invited to the special PN supreme council meeting that finalised the distribution of seats among component parties for the Negeri Sembilan state election. He questioned how Bersatu could be accused of acting ahead of council decisions when it was not present at the meeting where these final decisions were made.
Negotiations Conducted Without Mandate or Full Consultation

The former prime minister claimed that negotiations concerning seat allocations were conducted without the involvement of all component parties and lacked a mandate from the PN supreme council. He noted that while PN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri had acknowledged authorising preliminary talks with Barisan Nasional (BN), any coalition policy decisions should have been presented to the supreme council first.
Contrast with Previous PN Leadership

Muhyiddin contrasted the current situation with his five-year tenure leading PN, during which he claimed to have never sidelined any component party in decision-making processes, including election seat allocations. He described his past approach as one where meetings and negotiations involved all parties, leading to orderly decisions, whereas the current leadership, according to him, has led to chaos.
Allegations of Sidelining and Political Expediency

Muhyiddin rejected claims by former Umno secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa that Bersatu had voluntarily parted ways with PN. He insisted that Bersatu had never chosen to leave the coalition and that the PAS-led PN leadership was now seeking cooperation with Umno, which remains aligned with Pakatan Harapan. Muhyiddin characterised this pursuit of an alliance with Umno as a realignment of political power rather than genuine Malay unity.
