KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) is committed to fielding candidates from the People's Progressive Party (PPP) to represent the coalition in the upcoming 16th General Election (GE16).

BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said PPP president Datuk Dr Loga Bala Mohan remained steadfast alongside other coalition partners in efforts to revitalise the party as a new component member of BN.

“In my heart, alongside our partners from UMNO, MCA and MIC, the PPP is also our partner.

“With the agreement of Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran (MIC president) and Datuk Seri M. Saravanan (MIC deputy president), I am determined that we will field PPP candidates in the upcoming general election,” he said in his speech at the Malaysia PPP Deepavali Open House here today.

On Jan 18, it was reported that PPP had been officially accepted as a component party of BN.

The Registrar of Societies (RoS), in a letter dated Nov 25, 2025, confirmed PPP's status as a component party within the coalition.
