No official talks on GE15 between PN and GTA

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has not held any official discussions with Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) on working together to face the 15th general election (GE15), PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin says.

"Officially, none so far. There may be discussions between representatives, and making enquiries is common in politics now. 

"(However) the party leadership has yet to decide whether discussions can be held officially," he said when met on the sidelines of an event in Putrajaya last night.

On Saturday, GTA pro tem deputy chairman Muhkriz Mahathir said the coalition had held discussions with certain political alliances on the possibility of working together in GE15.

GTA comprises Pejuang, Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra), Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Berjasa) and Parti Ikatan India Muslim Nasional (Iman).
