PAS urges Perak Umno-BN assemblymen to back PN senate candidates

PAS Perak has appealed to Umno-Barisan Nasional state assemblymen to back Perikatan Nasional candidates in the senate selection process. Berhanudin Ahmad, representing PAS Perak, said the vote could function as a 'catalyst' for closer cooperation and political realignment between PAS and Umno at the state level. The move reflects ongoing political negotiations among the major Malay-based parties in Perak as they seek to consolidate their positions. The senate election process allows state assemblymen to participate in selecting upper house representatives. Berhanudin's statement underscores PAS's push to strengthen ties with Umno in Perak, marking a significant development in the state's political landscape where coalition arrangements have shifted significantly in recent years.
