Bersatu will pay for its "betrayal" of Pakatan Harapan by losing in the 15th general election (GE15).
According to former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, it would be a fitting comeuppance for a party that "backstabbed" a friend, to come to power through the "backdoor".
"Where is Bersatu? The party has no power now.
"Bersatu will also lose in GE15 because it does not have the support of Umno and PAS," said the Langkawi MP in a statement posted on his social media today.
By betrayal, Mahathir was referring to the Sheraton Move in February 2020, which led to the fall of the Harapan government.
He said the defection was the triggering point for the country's political instability.
Mahathir alleged that Bersatu paid for its folly of getting involved in the Sheraton Move, after having its president Muhyiddin Yassin toppled as the prime minister, and replaced by Umno's Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
"A party that was rejected by the rakyat (Umno) is now the government.
As the government, Umno gets to decide when to hold the election,” he said.
Mahathir further lambasted Umno for pushing for an early election despite warnings of the flood season, saying the party was only concerned about coming into power and had little regard for the people's welfare. - Mkini
