UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dismisses calls to revive Muafakat Nasional, reaffirming commitment to the unity government until end of 15th Parliament.
PUTRAJAYA: UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today dismissed suggestions of reviving Muafakat Nasional (MN) 2.0, saying there have been no discussions on the matter between UMNO and PAS.
“There have been no discussions on that,” he told reporters after visiting the exhibition site for National Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Day 2026 at Dataran Putrajaya here today.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also deputy prime minister, said UMNO and Barisan Nasional’s (BN) priority remains ensuring political stability through the Unity Government formed with Pakatan Harapan (PH) and parties from Sabah and Sarawak.
“The most important thing is to ensure that the current government remains intact until the end of the 15th Parliament’s term,” he said.
Yesterday, PAS Youth proposed that UMNO revive political cooperation through Muafakat Nasional ahead of the upcoming Johor state election.
On a separate matter, Ahmad Zahid said a political meeting involving UMNO and PAS leaders held last night did not involve the presidents of either party and was focused on political collaboration and national issues.
He said politics is dynamic and BN remains open to political discussions and deliberations on national matters in the interest of preserving the country’s stability.
