BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the party's readmission into the coalition was officially confirmed by the Registrar of Societies on Nov 25.
He said PPP’s readmission was officially confirmed by the Registrar of Societies on Nov 25.
Zahid made the announcement at the annual general meeting of the party at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today.
He said no party should dispute PPP’s legal standing in BN as the matter had been formally decided.
PPP had exited BN following the coalition’s major losses in the 2018 general election.
Founded in 1953, the party was a BN component for decades after the coalition was formed in 1974.
It later became embroiled in a leadership dispute and was deregistered by the RoS in 2019 before being re-registered in April 2023.
Since its re-registration, party leaders had sought formal recognition of its status within BN.
Zahid had previously indicated that the matter would be considered by BN’s Supreme Council following RoS’s confirmation of the party’s leadership.
BN’s component parties now comprise Umno, MCA, MIC, PBRS, and PPP.
MIC welcomes PPP back into BN’s fold
When contacted by FMT, MIC deputy president M Saravanan said he warmly welcomed PPP back into BN and congratulated the party on its readmission.
He said he was also advocating for the full admission of Friends of BN parties, including Makkal Sakthi, the Indian Progressive Front, the Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress, and others, into the coalition.
He said closer cooperation with these loyal partners is a strategic necessity to consolidate BN’s diverse strengths and foster long-term political stability. - FMT
