KUALA LUMPUR: Padang Rengas MP and former minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz (pic) says it may be time for Barisan Nasional to consider changing its name, due to the brand's unpopularity with Malaysians.

He suggested for the coalition to do away with its current name and consider a new name, such as Gabungan Parti Semenanjung, following new coalitions such as Gabungan Parti Sarawak and Gabungan Bersatu Sabah.
