KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has called off the highly-anticipated launch of his Perikatan Nasional alliance in Sabah on Saturday night, after recently experiencing several setbacks to formalising Malaysia's newest political alliance.

Tan Sri Muhyiddin's Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia wants allies in Sabah to contest under a new PN logo, but negotiations over the campaign which begins in a fortnight have not progressed quickly enough. The once dominant Umno prefers to contest under its decades-old BN flag in a tussle for leverage ever since Mr Muhyiddin was sworn in on March 1.

Umno and PAS have called for fresh elections. Mr Muhyiddin has also told Bersatu grassroots that he wants to gain a personal and stronger mandate despite the current parliamentary term ending only in late 2023, having fought hard to keep hold of his razor-thin majority of the 222-strong legislature.
