PAS, Umno must strengthen alliance to capture more states

PAS President Hadi Awang has urged the Islamic party and Umno to deepen their political collaboration to secure additional state governments in future elections, emphasizing the strategic importance of their combined strength.

Hadi said the partnership between PAS and Umno is critical for establishing post-election administrations with commanding parliamentary majorities that would be resilient against potential collapse. The combined weight of both parties would provide stability and longevity to any government they form.

The call reflects broader efforts by the two Malay-Muslim dominant parties to present a united front in electoral contests. By pooling resources and coordinating campaigns, PAS and Umno aim to consolidate support in key constituencies and wrest control of additional states from rival coalitions.

The alliance between PAS and Umno has grown stronger in recent years, with both parties increasingly coordinating at state and federal levels. Analysts suggest that tighter cooperation could significantly enhance their prospects in capturing swing states and strengthening their overall political position across the country.
