PH must seek new allies if Umno realigns with PN, says Amanah

Amanah has cautioned that Pakatan Harapan would need to broaden its political base and seek new coalition partners should Umno realign with Perikatan Nasional in the lead-up to the 16th general election. The warning comes as political realignments continue to reshape Malaysia's coalition landscape. Faiz Fadzil, a senior Amanah leader, stressed that PH must be prepared for potential shifts in the political landscape and have contingency plans in place. He noted that any move by Umno to join forces with PN would require PH to reassess its current political alliances and potentially bring new partners into the fold to strengthen its position. The statement reflects ongoing concerns within the PH coalition about maintaining political viability amid shifting alignments between major political blocs, particularly involving Umno and Barisan Nasional.
