Perikatan Nasional chairman Samsuri Mohamad has reaffirmed that all member parties must respect coalition decisions, responding to Bersatu's objections over the swift admission of Wawasan into the alliance.
A senior Perikatan Nasional official has rejected Bersatu's opposition to admitting Parti Wawasan Negara, the rebranded Parti Cinta Malaysia led by Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, effectively closing debate on the matter.
Perikatan Nasional's election director Sanusi has confirmed that Wawasan's admission into the coalition was determined through a majority vote at the Supreme Council level, overriding reservations raised by PKR Bersatu.
Kuala Sepetang assemblyman Ahmad Man, suspended from Bersatu, says he cannot join Wawasan until formally expelled due to Malaysia's anti-party hopping legislation that restricts political mobility.
