Umno has warned that external actors risk fracturing political alliances, drawing parallels to PAS's departure from Muafakat Nasional to form Perikatan Nasional with Bersatu.

The government's law minister has pushed back against suggestions that Barisan Nasional should abandon its federal coalition with Pakatan Harapan, arguing that state-level political arrangements operate under different constitutional rules and don't affect the stability of the national government.

Negri Sembilan's upcoming election offers a critical test of whether Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional can convert their reduced-overlap campaign strategy into concrete electoral victory against Pakatan Harapan.
