Muafakat Nasional
The National Concord is a political pact in Malaysia that was formed between the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and United Malays National Organisation. The political cooperation between the two largest Malay-Muslim-based parties was officialised with the signing of the Piagam Muafakat Nasional. The five-point charter was signed by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in the Himpunan Penyatuan Ummah held at Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur on 14 September 2019. Its main aim is to unite the Muslim community or Ummah for electoral purposes.
Despite calls for Muafakat Nasional to be institutionalised and become more inclusive towards Barisan Nasional and Gagasan Sejahtera where UMNO and PAS are major component parties respectively, there has been no formal agreement with the other parties in both coalitions to migrate to Muafakat Nasional. The new Muafakat Nasional coalition had planned to be formalised at its inaugural convention to be held by May 2020.Member parties
