Liu foresees BN-PN pact falling apart, GE16 ‘free for all’
The former DAP leader says with Umno and PAS vying for the same voter base, the split will happen as both feel strong enough to compete for more seats.
Former DAP leader Ronnie Liu has warned that the Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional pact may not survive until the upcoming general election, predicting the agreement will dissolve into a "free for all" between political parties. Liu, who has recently joined the Parti Bangsa Malaysia, stated that the initial signs of disintegration between BN and PN could be evident in the negotiations for the upcoming elections in Melaka.
He attributed the potential split to both coalitions feeling confident in their ability to secure more seats, given the competitive nature of Umno and PAS, which primarily target the same voter base. Liu believes that the rift will be apparent soon, with both parties eventually going their separate ways. He then predicted that GE16 would witness a free-for-all scenario among all political parties.
Previously, Liu had been a prominent member of the DAP, the main opposition party in Malaysia, before switching allegiance to PBM.
