KIMANIS POLL | Muafakat Nasional, the Umno-PAS cooperation bloc, does not fit well in the political situation in Sabah, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
Without elaborating, he mooted the setting up of "Muafakat Sabah".
"The Muafakat Nasional may not be suitable in Sabah because of the differences in the political situation," he said.
"However, this is the 'Muafakat Sabah' that starts in Kimanis," Zahid said at a ceramah in Kampung Pimping in Kimanis last night.
He said the Muafakat Sabah would be able to unite all races in the state.
Zahid said this after PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, in his ceramah, introduced Umno Kimanis chief Mohamad Aliman as the Muafakat Nasional candidate that was contesting under BN.
"This is important to those who participate in the cooperation bloc, (including) Umno, PAS, MIC, MCA, PBS and non-extreme Islamic groups," Hadi said.
Muafakat Nasional is a charter signed between Umno and PAS on Sept 16, 2019.
It had campaigned successfully for the BN candidate in the Tanjung Piai by-election in November 2018.
It is expected that the Muafakat Nasional will be formally set up in May 2020.
Zahid and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan declined to speak with the media to further clarify Hadi’s statement. - Mkini
