Wawasan party president Hamzah positions the party as a strategic bridge for Perikatan Nasional to attract broader voter support, advocating cooperation and national interest focus.
Hamzah has been appointed president of Wawasan in a significant leadership reshuffle. Veteran politician Rais Yatim assumes the role of chairman, while Indera Mahkota MP Saifuddin Abdullah takes on the position of secretary-general.
A political analyst predicts the newly formed Wawasan party will follow Bersatu's template by appealing to urban Malays and Muslims uncomfortable with PAS's religious platform.
