Perikatan Nasional has called an emergency meeting to examine its coalition membership, organisational logo, and campaign tactics ahead of state elections in Johor and Negeri Sembilan.
Barisan Nasional's Johor leadership is messaging rejected candidates that the state election outcome won't determine the coalition's broader political fortunes, urging continued loyalty.
Perikatan Nasional is repositioning itself as a moderate political force ahead of GE16, with Hamzah Zainudin playing a central role in this strategic shift, according to political observers.
