KUALA LUMPUR – Perikatan Nasional will convene an extraordinary meeting this Saturday, February 21, to discuss the appointment of a new chairman following the resignation of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
PN chief whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the meeting is scheduled for 3pm, after the PAS Central Committee meeting at the party’s headquarters here.
“This extraordinary meeting will be convened in accordance with the coalition’s constitution, which allows such a meeting when at least half of the key leadership of member parties agree.
“Currently, there are four parties in PN. When two parties express their agreement, then an extraordinary meeting can be held. So far, all parties, including Bersatu, have agreed,” he told reporters after attending a Chinese New Year celebration in Kelantan today.
Takiyuddin said the meeting’s agenda will focus on two main matters, namely to approve Muhyiddin’s resignation as PN chairman and to appoint his successor.
“The issue of appointing the Opposition Leader is not included in the official agenda, but we do not rule out the possibility of the matter being raised,” he added.
On December 30, Muhyiddin announced that he would step down as PN chairman effective January 1, 2026.– February 17, 2026
