UMNO-PKR Collaboration Remains Strong Despite Zafrul's Party Switch

Johor, Malaysia - May 31, 2025 - UMNO and PKR's political partnership remains strong despite the recent resignation of Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz from UMNO and his subsequent announcement to join PKR, according to UMNO Vice President Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. In a press conference following the "Kampung Angkat Madani" handover ceremony in Batu Pahat, Johor, Johari stated, "...we have a responsibility to ensure political stability in the country." He emphasized the importance of maintaining the unity government formed by various parties, including UMNO and PKR, until the end of its term. This decision, Johari clarified, is independent of the anti-party hopping act, given Tengku Zafrul's status as a senator. The event underscores the ongoing dynamics within Malaysian politics and the commitment to maintaining governmental stability.
