Parti Amanah Negara has expressed its readiness to give way for the newly-formed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) to contest against PAS and Umno in the Malay heartlands.

Amanah communications director Khalid Samad said this would be the party’s position in the event of any negotiations for an electoral pact to face the 14th general election.

"We must find a way for the sake of unity for an electoral pact. They (Bersatu) don't necessarily need to join Pakatan Harapan," Khalid said.

"Bersatu will go for the big Malay-majority seats while Amanah will take on seats with sizeable non-Malay voters," Khalid said when met after a press conference at the party's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

These are among seats that PAS had contested when it was part of the then Pakatan Rakyat federal opposition pact, Khalid said, adding that his former party may now have very little influence in some of the areas.

The Shah Alam MP said this when asked if Bersatu's cooperation with Pakatan Harapan would jeopardise Amanah's chances when the time comes for seat negotiations to face GE14.

Bersatu pro-tem committee president Muhyiddin Yassin had during the party's first press conference on Aug 21 said that seat negotiations with allied opposition parties will commence once the Registrar of Societies accepts its registration.

These include seats currently held or contested by PAS and PKR during the 13th general elections.

At a PKR-organised roadshow in Sabak Bernam on Saturday, Muhyiddin also said there are 67 Barisan Nasional seats that the opposition considers winnable.

From the figure, he said a four percent swing in votes could cause BN to lose 45 seats, a majority of which belongs to Umno.
