The Bersatu president said several discussions with the top leadership of parties within the Perikatan-led government had taken place with several agreements achieved to strengthen the party's position within Perikatan.
"Bersatu top leadership has agreed to join Muafakat Nasional that supports Perikatan Nasional as a grand coalition.
"Insyallah, the party's participation in Muafakat Nasional will be finalised soon.
"I think this is the best option for Bersatu," he said in his special address in conjunction with the party's Women's (Srikandi), Youth (Armada) wings and divisional meetings on Saturday (Aug 15).
He said that the party chose to be part of the "grand coalition" that gathers the top parties in the country.
"With the cooperation between Bersatu, PAS, Umno and other parties within Perikatan, therefore the majority support of the people is on our side.
