Hadi instead criticised Bersatu, blaming the party for the strained ties between the two parties in the opposition bloc.

“That is not true.

“What happened was Bersatu’s misconduct in the cooperation,” he told reporters after accompanying PN candidates during the nomination process for the Negri Sembilan election here today.

It was reported yesterday that Muhyiddin claimed PN had become “toxic” under Pas’ leadership, with component parties increasingly being excluded from the decision-making process. (hyperlink: https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2026/07/1491090/muhyiddin-pn-toxic-u…)

Muhyiddin also accused Pas of leaving Bersatu in the lurch after failing to continue seat negotiations ahead of the Negri Sembilan election.

Asked about Muhyiddin’s statement that Bersatu planned to form a new political coalition with several parties after the Negri Sembilan election, Hadi said it was up to them.

Hadi said PN was not rushing into making any decisions, adding that the coalition wanted to focus on cooperation that brings “blessings and saves the people”.

On the understanding reached between PN and Barisan Nasional (BN) for the state election, Hadi said the cooperation had received positive feedback from Pas grassroots.

He also said efforts would be made to expand the cooperation between the two coalitions beyond the Negri Sembilan election.

“We will work towards expanding such cooperation. What is important is that our country remains safe,” he said.
