Perikatan Nasional

Perikatan Nasional (PN; English: National Alliance) is a Malaysian political coalition consisting of right-wing and far-right political parties. It is the second largest political coalition in Dewan Rakyat with 74 seats after Pakatan Harapan (PH) with 81 seats.

Previously known as the Persatuan Perikatan Parti Malaysia (PPPM; English: Malaysian Party Alliance Association). The coalition consists of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (GERAKAN) and Malaysian Indian People's Party (MIPP).

Perikatan Nasional was formed early in the 2020 Malaysian political crisis with the intention to replace the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government. The 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Abdullah of Pahang, appointed Muhyiddin Yassin, then the de facto leader of PN, as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia, bringing the informal political coalition into government. The coalition was in a coalition government with Barisan Nasional (BN), Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and other political parties from March 2020 to November 2022. The coalition led the coalition government from March 2020 to August 2021 with its Chairman Muhyiddin as prime minister. After Muhyiddin resigned as prime minister due to the withdrawal of support of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and loss of majority support in Dewan Rakyat, the coalition government was led by UMNO Vice President Ismail Sabri Yaakob as prime minister from August 2021 to November 2022. A new coalition government of PH, BN, GPS, GRS and other political parties led by PH Chairman Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister was formed as a result of the general election in November 2022. PN then formed the Opposition led by its Deputy Chairman Hamzah Zainudin as Leader.
