Malaysian Opposition Party Excluded from Poll Talks, RoS Probes PAS Leader

Market Impact

PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said his party excluded Bersatu from Negeri Sembilan state election preparations due to criticism of PAS and Bersatu’s decision to contest under its own logo. He told the Registrar of Societies (RoS) that PAS had multiple reasons for the exclusion, including strained ties within Perikatan Nasional (PN). Takiyuddin made the remarks during a public lecture, adding that RoS questioned him for four hours over Bersatu’s complaint.

The exclusion comes amid ongoing tensions within PN, with PAS cutting ties with Bersatu in June over disputes on seat allocations and power-sharing. Takiyuddin also noted that Umno had expressed willingness to collaborate with PAS in Negeri Sembilan, despite its strained relationship with Bersatu. He reiterated that PAS would continue making decisions based on its interests and broader political cooperation.

Details not yet available on Bersatu’s response to the exclusion or Umno’s role in the negotiations. PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang previously cited Bersatu’s alleged greed for seats and power as the reason for severing ties.

The political rift highlights challenges within PN ahead of upcoming elections, with PAS seeking to form a new alliance to “unite the ummah.” The RoS investigation into PAS’s actions remains ongoing.
