PN urged to pick PM soon, says Muhyiddin

Former PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin warned that the coalition must finalise its prime ministerial candidate without delay, saying the lingering uncertainty is weighing heavily on voters' minds ahead of the next general election. He argued that a clear leader will restore confidence, enable the coalition to present a united front, and stop opposition parties from capitalising on the vacuum, which could otherwise sway public sentiment.

For voters and party members, the timing of the PM pick could shape confidence in PN’s readiness, influencing how they cast their ballots and whether they feel represented in upcoming political decisions.

A swift decision may stabilise PN’s image, reassure swing voters and prevent the opposition from exploiting the leadership void, potentially altering the balance of power in the forthcoming national overall election.
