Allegations of PH-BN collusion just empty talk, Rafizi says

PETALING JAYA - Pas President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang's allegation that Pakatan Harapan (PH) has a secret alliance with Barisan Nasional (BN) to face the 15th General Election (GE15) is just an empty talk.

PKR Deputy President said that such accusations were made due to the state of people's support for Perikatan Nasional (PN).

He said if a comparison was made between PH, BN and the coalition, they are in third place.

"During the state election in Johor, PH was at the third place but now, at most of the areas, the support for PN had reduced not only among the non-Malays but also the Malays,” he said in a press conference today.

Prior to this, Hadi claimed that the Umno leadership wanted to negate BN's own victory in GE15.

He said that it gave PH an opportunity to win the election and the two parties finally united to form a new alliance.

He stressed that PN Was firm in its position that it would never cooperate with PH.

At the same time, Rafizi when commenting on the nomination of the Minister of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar in the Sungai Buloh Parliament reminded the people there to make a rational decision.

"A victory given to BN is equivalent to the victory of its chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi," he said.
