Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) has pledged to maintain its political independence, ruling out any future move to join Pakatan Harapan (PH), Barisan Nasional (BN) or Perikatan Nasional (PN) as a component party.

According to the party, Bersama would not merge with any of the three coalitions to gain political power, even if it suffered electoral defeats.

“Parti Bersama will NOT join PH, BN, or PN as a component party, and we will NOT merge into them to get power,” it said in social media post, in responding to question from the public.

The party argued that joining established coalitions would undermine its founding purpose, claiming that it could become part of the same political practices it was established to challenge.
