History
The party was formed by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who was also the former Chairman of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party. He resigned as Prime Minister on 24 February 2020,[2] the same day BERSATU announced its departure from the then ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition.[3] In March, Muhyiddin Yassin, the President and the acting Chairman of BERSATU was appointed the new Prime Minister. However, Mahathir and five other MPs including former Menteri Besar of Kedah Mukhriz Mahathir, former Minister of Education Maszlee Malik, and former Minister of Youth and Sports Syed Saddiq did not support Muhyiddin and the new Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, for which they would be expelled from BERSATU in May.[4] They were later joined by Shahruddin Md Salleh, who resigned as Deputy Minister of Works only three months after his appointment while recanting his support for Muhyiddin.
In August, Mahathir announced that he would be forming a new Malay-based party.[5] On 12 August, it adopted the name Parti Pejuang Tanah Air, with Mahathir and four of the five expelled BERSATU MPs as founding members.[6] The party made its debut in the Slim by-election on 29 August, but its candidate Amir Khusyairi lost to the Barisan Nasional's Mohd Zaidi Aziz. On 21 August, Syed Saddiq, the only former BERSATU MP not to have participated in PEJUANG's founding announced that he would instead form a new party,[7] Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA). On 2 November, Mazlee announced his resignation as a member of PEJUANG only three months after its founding to become an independent MP. He would later join Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).
In January 2021, the Registrar of Societies (RoS) rejected the party's application for registration.[8] The RoS' decision was appealed by the party but left unresolved for 5 and a half months. On 25 June, the High Court ordered the Home Minister to make a decision regarding the registration of PEJUANG within 14 days[9] and on 8 July 2021, PEJUANG was finally registered as a political party.[10]
O 16 April 2021, PEJUANG Deputy-President Marzuki Yahya said if Pejuang were to work with PN, it would only be done in the interest of the country.[11]
On 22 January 2022, Johor PEJUANG chief, Dr Saharuddin Mohd Salleh, announced that the party would be contesting in the 2022 Johor state election alone, but remained open to the possibility of co-operating with other parties.[12] PEJUANG contested in 42 of the state's 56 seats and failing to win any of them. Party president Mukhriz Mahathir blamed the lack of exposure of the party's logo as one of the reasons for their defeat.[13]
