Perikatan Nasional (PN; English: National Alliance) is a Malaysian political coalition consisting of right-wing and far-right political parties. It is the second largest political coalition in Dewan Rakyat with 74 seats after Pakatan Harapan (PH) with 81 seats.
Previously known as the Persatuan Perikatan Parti Malaysia (PPPM; English: Malaysian Party Alliance Association).[ citation needed ] The coalition consists of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (GERAKAN) and Malaysian Indian People's Party (MIPP).
Perikatan Nasional was formed early in the 2020–2022 Malaysian political crisis with the intention of replacing the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government. Muhyiddin Yassin, then the de facto leader of PN, was appointed the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia, bringing the informal political coalition into government. It formed a coalition government with Barisan Nasional (BN), Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and other political parties which ruled from 2020 to 2022. Following Muhyiddin's resignation as prime minister in 2021, the coalition continued to participate in government under prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
Following the 2022 election, coalition deputy chairman Hamzah Zainudin became Leader of the Opposition.
As an informal coalition, Perikatan Nasional was formed by the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), Barisan Nasional (BN), Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), and Homeland Solidarity Party (STAR) at the beginning of the 2020–2022 Malaysian political crisis in a bid to replace the then ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) government.
Having proven to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that the coalition held a majority of seats in the Dewan Rakyat and supported his candidacy, the coalition's de facto leader Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia on 1 March 2020. [1]
As a formal coalition, it consisted of BERSATU, PAS, and STAR at the time of its registration in August 2020. [2] It was expanded to include the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) that month, [3] followed by Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (GERAKAN) in February 2021, [4] and later the Malaysian Indian People's Party (MIPP) in April 2024.
The coalition's first election was the 2020 Sabah state election, where it won 17 state assembly seats as part of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition. It also participated in the 2021 Malacca state election and the 2022 Johor state election.
In 2021, Muhyiddin resigned as prime minister after losing his majority in parliament, with the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a major component of BN, having pulled its support. [5]
Following the coaliton's decision to contest in the 2025 Sabah state election, the SAPP exited the coalition. [6]
