KUALA LUMPUR — Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi indicated on Friday that the coalition sees no prospect of maintaining its working relationship with Pakatan Harapan once Parliament is dissolved for elections.
Zahid's statement suggests BN's current cooperation with the opposition bloc will cease once the dissolution process begins, potentially reshaping the country's political dynamics ahead of anticipated national polls.
The remarks come as Malaysia's political landscape continues to evolve following the previous general election. BN and Pakatan have maintained a collaborative arrangement in recent months, though their partnership has remained subject to ongoing negotiations and shifting political circumstances.
The timing of Zahid's statement indicates that BN is preparing strategically for the next electoral cycle, with the coalition signalling its readiness to operate independently once the formal process for fresh elections commences.
No specific timeline for Parliament's dissolution has been announced, but Zahid's comments reflect the coalition's positioning as Malaysia moves toward its next general election cycle.
