Bersatu posts must be reviewed in PAS-led states, says Wawasan chief
Wawasan Wan Saiful Wan Jan has called for a reassessment of Bersatu's executive positions in three states governed by PAS, following a party complaint that triggered an investigation into Perikatan Nasional.

The vice president of Wawasan made the appeal in the wake of Bersatu's complaint to the Election Commission that led to inquiries into the coalition's affairs. Wan Saiful's statement underscores growing tensions within Perikatan Nasional over the distribution of executive roles and party influence across different state administrations. Bersatu has contested the allocation of executive committee posts in the three PAS-administered states, contending that its representation does not reflect its contribution to the coalition's governance structure. The complaint mechanism has prompted regulatory scrutiny of Perikatan Nasional's internal arrangements and adherence to electoral guidelines. The development reflects broader questions about power-sharing arrangements within the opposition coalition and the mechanisms for resolving disputes between member parties in shared government arrangements.
