Question

Accepted Answer

Johor BN says it will govern Johor on its own if it retains power after the state election
Johor Barisan Nasional (BN) plans to govern Johor without forming any coalition government with other political parties if it manages to retain power after the state election. Johor BN state chairman Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, who is also the caretaker Johor menteri besar and election designate, said BN can govern the state on its own if it is given the mandate by voters.
The pledge is tied to retaining power after the state election
Onn Hafiz Ghazi stated that BN will not form a coalition government with any other political party if it retains power following the state election. The statement was made in the context of the upcoming state polls on May 16, with BN announcing it would contest all 56 state assembly seats.
“Going it alone” means no joint government with other parties
The position was framed as a firm stance against forming a joint government. Onn Hafiz Ghazi explicitly said BN would not collaborate with other parties in forming a joint government, describing it as “going it alone.”
BN said the decision not to collaborate does not reject any race
Onn Hafiz Ghazi also addressed criticism linked to BN’s decision not to collaborate with DAP. He said the decision should not be interpreted as rejecting any race, adding that the coalition remains committed to representing the multi-racial community in Johor.
The coalition’s approach is linked to differences in ideology and method
He said the decision to avoid collaboration was based on differences in approach and ideology. In his address at a BN Johor state election candidate announcement ceremony at the Johor Umno state liaison office, he spoke alongside leaders including MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong, MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran, PPP president Datuk Dr J. Loga Bala Mohan, and Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh.
