SHAH ALAM: Perikatan Nasional (PN) has officially submitted its application to become a legal entity to the Registrar of Societies (RoS).
Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) vice president Datuk Abdul Rashid Asari revealed that the application of the coalition to be formally registered was submitted to the Ros last week.
PN is now the federal government of the day as well as leading several state governments.
In the Dewan Rakyat, it currently controls 113 seats out of the 222 strong lower house of Parliament, comprising Bersatu (31); Pas (18); Barisan Nasional (43); Gabungan Parti Sarawak (18) as well as Parti Bersatu Sabah and Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku having a sole seat each and an independent federal law maker.
PN also controls the Dewan Negara, which sees the coalition represented by 42 Senators in the 70 strong upper house of Parliament.
Rashid added that PN would likely know the outcome of its application to RoS soon.
