Pejuang was founded by former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has since joined little-known Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia.
KUALA LUMPUR: Months after a disastrous showing at the 15th general election , Parti Pejuang Tanah Air has applied to join Perikatan Nasional as a component party.
Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir said that he had sent a letter to PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin after the party’s central executive council had conducted reviews and evaluated all its options of political cooperations. In a statement on Thursday , Mr Mukhriz said that the council had decided that an electoral pact was not viable for the sole purpose of avoiding clashes in contested seats, especially if both parties used different logos.“Of course, this means that Pejuang's agreement with the PN is not limited to the state elections that will take place in June 2023, but also for the long term.
“Pejuang's application to be a member of PN is to ensure that there is no split in the Malay vote in the upcoming election,” he said, adding that he hoped for a positive response from PN’s top leadership. PN, which comprises Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia , Parti Islam Se-Malaysia , and Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia won 74 seats during GE15 in November last year.and joined the little-known Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia.
