A Bersatu Supreme Council member, Razali Idris, has called for a high-level meeting between party president Muhyiddin Yassin and Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The proposed face-to-face discussion aims to explore a potential partnership for the 16th General Election (GE16).
Razali, who is also a Terengganu state executive councillor, argued that a pact is “not impossible,” citing the previous collaboration between the two parties under Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s administration.
He emphasized that the decision must come from the top leadership to ensure that grassroots members align with the new direction.
“It’s best that Muhyiddin and Zahid sit together and look for a formula for us to work together,” Razali told FMT.
He clarified that these new discussions should not focus on the defunct Muafakat Nasional charter or suggestions for Bersatu to be dissolved and absorbed into Umno.
In response, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi did not rule out the possibility of cooperation when questioned by reporters yesterday. While the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman has previously committed to staying with the unity government until GE16, his latest non-committal stance comes amid reported friction within the government, particularly involving DAP.
