Syed Saddiq said the party was also open to holding official discussions with PH’s presidential council on the matter.

“Muda is ready to work with comrades who share our principles and struggle for a multiracial and multireligious national leadership, policy-based politics, and public service,” he said in a statement.

The Muar MP added that the party was targeting no more than 15 seats in the upcoming general election (GE15) since Muda plans to be part of a coalition.

However, he did not elaborate on the number of parliamentary and state seats targeted.

The party has also established an election committee, chaired by the party’s deputy president and Puteri Wangsa assemblyman Amira Aisya Abd Aziz.

Syed Saddiq said the committee will prioritise fielding women and youth candidates who are progressive and capable.

Yesterday, PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim said the coalition had not discussed making Muda one of its component parties.

He was asked by reporters if Muda would officially become a part of the coalition since the party had been taking part in various programmes organised by PH.

In August, PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil said PH might be announcing new alliances soon, with seat negotiations for GE15 getting more lively.

In the Johor state polls in March, seat negotiations between PKR and Muda broke down which led to the two opposition parties clashing for the Larkin seat.

Barisan Nasional’s Hairi Md Shah won the seat.
