Malaysia PN coalition fragmentation

Overview

In July 2026, former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin faced a weakened Bersatu after losses in Johor state seats. Analysts noted that without support from either Pakatan Harapan or the Ikatan Prihatin Rakyat coalition, Muhyiddin’s electoral prospects were dim. Attention turned to the control of Felda‑linked constituencies, which could force negotiations between UMNO and PAS and potentially enable a seat‑sharing arrangement ahead of the Negeri Sembilan election.

By early August 2026, the rift deepened. PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man announced talks with UMNO over a Melaka state assembly seat to block Pakatan Harapan gains. PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang declared that Bersatu had automatically ceased to be part of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition after Bersatu signaled plans to form a new alliance. Muhyiddin confirmed Bersatu would join a new coalition ahead of the next general election, confirming the fragmentation of the PN bloc.
