Bersatu will conduct a comprehensive post-mortem and internal review after failing to win any seats in the Negeri Sembilan state election.
Secretary-general Mohamed Azmin Ali said the party respected the people’s decision and accepted the election outcome.
He noted that the election marked the first time Bersatu had contested under its own party symbol instead of relying on or contesting under another party’s banner.
Party to strengthen organisation and reform agenda
Mohamed Azmin said the result highlighted the need for Bersatu to take bold steps to strengthen party discipline, intensify its efforts and pursue a reform agenda that would deliver greater benefits to the people.
‘The outcome in Negeri Sembilan underscores the need for Bersatu to take bold steps to strengthen internal discipline, intensify its efforts and pursue a reform agenda that delivers the greatest benefit to the people.
‘Bersatu will conduct a thorough review and post-mortem of the election results to identify strategic measures that will strengthen the party and enable it to continue championing the interests of the Malaysian people,’ he said in a statement on Saturday.
Coalition proposal to be discussed
Mohamed Azmin said Bersatu would also discuss the formation of a coalition of moderate and progressive political parties to reinvigorate democracy in Malaysia and help build a brighter future for the country.
He also expressed his appreciation to voters and party workers for their commitment and efforts throughout the election campaign.
