Putrajaya: UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today dismissed suggestions of reviving Muafakat Nasional (MN) 2.0, saying there have been no discussions on the matter between UMNO and PAS. 'There have been no discussions on that,' he told reporters after visiting the exhibition site for National Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Day 2026 at Dataran Putrajaya here today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Zahid, who is also deputy prime minister, said UMNO and Barisan Nasional's (BN) priority remains ensuring political stability through the Unity Government formed with Pakatan Harapan (PH) and parties from Sabah and Sarawak. 'The most important thing is to ensure that the current government remains intact until the end of the 15th Parliament's term,' he emphasized.

The comment from the UMNO president comes in response to a proposal by PAS Youth, which suggested that UMNO revive political cooperation through Muafakat Nasional ahead of the upcoming Johor state election. However, Ahmad Zahid made it clear that no such discussions have been initiated between the two parties.

On a separate matter, Ahmad Zahid addressed a political meeting involving UMNO and PAS leaders held last night, which he said did not involve the presidents of either party. The meeting focused on political collaboration and national issues, reflecting the dynamic nature of politics. He reiterated that BN remains open to political discussions and deliberations on national matters in the interest of preserving the country's stability.
