Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Muhyiddin Yassin has emphasised the need for Pakatan Harapan to resolve its leadership issue as soon as possible.

He said this in response to a question on Harapan's vague position on who would be the coalition's prime minister and deputy prime minister candidates.

"Harapan leaders recognise the perception that we need to be more cohesive.

"The coalition allows us to discuss issues like leadership and seat allocation freely and frankly.

“The sooner we resolve this, the better it would be for Harapan," he told a press conference at the Bersatu headquarters in Petaling Jaya this afternoon.
