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