Bersatu open to backing Amirudin as Selangor menteri besar

Gombak Setia assemblyman Hilman Idham has indicated that it is not out of the question for Bersatu's Selangor representatives to back Amirudin Shari's bid to remain as menteri besar, citing the party's precedent of collaborating across political divides.

Hilman's remarks suggest potential flexibility within Bersatu on the matter, with the party having previously worked with both BN and PH coalitions. This openness could prove significant given the tight political mathematics in Selangor, where coalition partners often need to secure additional support to secure key positions.

The statement comes as Selangor's political landscape remains fluid following recent electoral developments. Amirudin, the incumbent menteri besar from PKR, would require sufficient backing from assemblymen to maintain his position.

Bersatu's willingness to engage with multiple political blocs has been a defining characteristic of the party's approach to state and federal governance. Any formal decision on Bersatu's stance would likely depend on broader coalition negotiations and political considerations at the state level.
