PH must make reforms to stave off becoming opposition again, says analyst
Wong Chin Huat says the ability of Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional to consolidate votes would present a huge challenge for Pakatan Harapan.
Pakatan Harapan faces the possibility of becoming the opposition once again after the next general election, warns political analyst Wong Chin Huat. In an interview with Astro Awani, Chin cautioned that BN and PN's ability to consolidate votes poses a significant challenge for PH. According to Chin, PH must leverage its current government position to implement reforms that would establish a more equitable political landscape for all parties.
If PH loses power in the next election, it may struggle to reclaim positions, as 28 out of 71 seats previously held by PH and Muda could potentially fall to BN and PN if supporters consolidate their votes. Chin noted that this projection assumes no change in voter turnout. However, a low voter turnout could result in PH retaining fewer than 43 seats.
Chin emphasized that PH cannot ignore these challenges and must pinpoint the factors driving the increasing potency of identity politics in voter mobilization.
