Malaysia’s opposition bloc Perikatan Nasional (PN) has rejected an application by Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) to be part of the coalition.
The decision was made during PN’s supreme council meeting on Monday, which was chaired by former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, also the chairman of PN.
“The supreme council has decided to reject Pejuang’s application to join Perikatan Nasional,” said PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin in a statement.
No reason was given for the rejection.
Pejuang was founded by former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. It is currently headed by Tun Mahathir’s son, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.
Pejuang had applied to join PN earlier in March, and Mr Mukhriz said on March 2 that the decision was taken to ensure there is no split in Malay votes in the upcoming state elections.
