Bersatu was not admitted into Muafakat Nasional because of its repeated attempts to undermine Umno, said Umno information chief Shahril Hamdan.<br /><br />In a statement today, Shahril said Umno had a bitter experience cooperating with Bersatu because the latter showed “insincerity”.<br /><br />“This was proven during the Sabah election (in 2020), which saw Bersatu field candidates against BN for 17 seats.<br /><br />“They also split the votes by fielding independent candidates which eventually backed (Sabah Bersatu chief) Hajiji Noor (as chief minister),” he added.
