GE15: BN rejects any coalition to form govt - Ismail Sabri

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) Supreme Council has decided to not support any coalition to form a government.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, in a Twitter post on Tuesday said BN does not support Pakatan Harapan (PH) or Perikatan Nasional (PN).

"As of now, BN will remain as opposition," he said.

The decision for BN not to support any coalition or a new Prime Ministerial candidate was made after a meeting involving the parties under BN, including MCA and MIC, here today.

Alhamdulillah, Dewan Tertinggi Barisan Nasional (BN) telah membuat keputusan untuk tidak menyokong mana-mana gabungan untuk membentuk kerajaan. BN tidak menyokong Pakatan Harapan (PH) mahupun Perikatan Nasional (PN). Setakat ini BN bersetuju kekal sebagai pembangkang.

Meanwhile, Supreme Council member, Datuk Seri Bung Mokhtar Radin said that all BN members of Parliament (MP) were present today, and have come to a mutual agreement on the decision.

"We also urge all 30 BN MPs to remain calm and refrain from signing any SD. We will not collaborate with anyone," said Bung Mokhtar after speaking to the media after the meeting.

This means, BN clearly will not throw support to PH nor PN to form a new government post 15th general elections.

A formal letter will be published by BN leadership soon.

He added that any decision from now on will be made with the agreement of all.
