SHAH ALAM - Debates over Pas being more influential and stronger than Bersatu in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition is a non-issue, says PN Perak Chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu.
He said if it was true, it works in Bersatu’s favour since they were coalition partners in PN anyway.
Faizal had previously addressed the matter back in December after the 15th General Election in an episode of Politically Frank with Sinar Daily, where he said there was no party more dominant as Bersatu and Pas worked together as a team along with Gerakan in Peninsular Malaysia.
Faizal is Bersatu Deputy President and former Perak Menteri Besar. He was Tambun MP but lost to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who won with a 5,328-vote majority.
Results for GE15 in November last year saw PN winning 74 seats of which 49 belonged to Pas and 25 for Bersatu. Pas contested 70 seats while Bersatu contested 81 seats.
