PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said no activity or meeting bearing the coalition's name may be held without the approval of its chairman, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.

Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang is choosing to keep his cards close to his chest following the latest leadership reshuffle within Perikatan Nasional (PN), saying the coalition chairman’s statement is sufficient for now.

The removal of two senior Bersatu leaders from Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) top leadership appears to be part of a broader strategy by Pas to gradually edge Bersatu out of the coalition without formally expelling it, according to political analysts.

Bersatu information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Azizhas accused Pas of attempting to consolidate its grip on Perikatan Nasional (PN) by increasing its representation in the coalition's top decision-making body while reducing Bersatu's influence. FILE PIX

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) may still be part of Perikatan Nasional (PN) on paper, but political analysts say the party risks becoming increasingly irrelevant as Pas cements its position as the coalition's dominant force following Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin's retention as Opposition Leader.

Analysts view that Hamzah’s camp has the potential to emerge as Pas’ new ally within PN.

The fallout from Pas' decision to end its cooperation with Bersatu has triggered debate over Bersatu's next move, with some leaders forecasting an exodus of grassroots support and others arguing it presents an opportunity for political repositioning.
