Zahid: Umno will not formally join Perikatan, to continue alliance with Muafakat (Updated)


KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) has reaffirmed his party’s earlier decision not to formally join Perikatan Nasional if the ruling pact registers as a formal coalition.

Instead, Umno will remain dedicated to the Muafakat Nasional pact it has with PAS. The party’s decision against formally joining the Perikatan pact does not mean that it’s withdrawing support from the government, he added.
