However, Mukhriz said Pejuang’s stance was to remain open to holding any negotiations with the existing political coalitions in facing the state polls which will take place this year. “A special committee will be established by the party’s executive council to evaluate all available options ... for now, no negotiations have been held yet, only informal discussions.
