PH-BN will win next GE says Muhyiddin’s former principal private secretary






THE principal private secretary to former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Marzuki Mohamad, believes the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional (PH-BN) coalition has a clear path to victory should PAS name its own leader as Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman.


He said this was the case because PAS’ dominance is limited to Malay-majority states like Kelantan, Terengganu, and parts of Kedah.


In more diverse and moderate constituencies such as Johor, Selangor, and Kuala Lumpur, the Islamic party’s policies are less appealing, thus weakening PN’s chances.

“When PAS puts forward its prime ministerial candidate, PAS’ policies will influence voters. The question is whether voters will want to support PN or not.

“PAS is not that appealing. It is appealing in Kelantan, Terengganu, and parts of Kedah because there is no diversity in those societies.


“These are Malay-majority areas. That may give PAS an advantage,” he said in The Tiger Show Raw on Thursday (Feb 5).

He believes DAP will secure non-Malay and mixed seats, while PH can win marginal constituencies with just a small share of Malay votes.

Combined with BN’s steady Malay support, this coalition could decisively outperform PN in securing nationwide electoral success.

“DAP will win hands down in non-Malay and mixed constituencies.

“In marginal constituencies with 40% Malay voters, all will go to PH. PH only needs 11% of Malay votes; that’s enough. BN, with 30% of Malay votes, can already win,” he added. — Feb 7, 2026
