Mahathir had announced during the coalition's founding that GTA will contest in the next Malaysian general election against the incumbent ruling coalition Barisan Nasional.[4] On 6 September 2022, the coalition submitted registration documents to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) to apply for registration.[5] The coalition failed to win any parliament seat in the 2022 General Election.[6]

History

edit

On 4 August 2022, PEJUANG Chairman Mahathir Mohamad announced launch of Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) coalition which aims to keep the country safe and stable by reducing the current gap between races. He said, it does not mean that the movement is racist but rather it is to focus against a Malay party that has gone astray at the moment. The basis of the establishment of the Homeland Movement was not to seize the property of the non-Malay community or prevent them from trying to get wealth, but rather it sought to correct the economy of the Malay community. GTA comprises four parties – PEJUANG, Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra), Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Berjasa) and the Parti Perikatan India Muslim Nasional (Iman).[7]

On 23 September 2022, Gerakan Tanah Air's (GTA) application to register as an official political party coalition has received preliminary approval from the Registrar of Society (RoS).[8]

On 2 November 2022, Gerakan Tanah Air's (GTA) announced the 121 Parliamentary candidates who will compete to represent the movement in the 15th General Election (GE-15). [9] However, GTA failed to win all 121 Parliamentary chair.

On 14 January 2023, PEJUANG left GTA. PEJUANG President Mukhriz Mahathir said PEJUANG need focus on strengthening the party before adding value to any coalition. The decision was made after taking into account the views of the representatives in the second PEJUANG General Assembly, following the party's heavy defeat in the past 15th General Election (GE15). However, Mukhriz said PEJUANG took the stance of remaining open to hold any negotiations with any existing political coalition in the run-up to the State Election (PRN) which is expected to take place this year.[10]

On 12 May 2023, Mahathir left GTA. Mahathir reached that decision after realising that GTA could not function properly and failed to attract voters’ support, especially during the 15th general election (GE15) in November 2022.[11]
