Post-mortems in Johor, Negri find PH must do more to mobilise voters
KUALA LUMPUR: A preliminary post-mortem into Pakatan Harapan’s losses in the Johor and Negri Sembilan elections indicates that the coalition must do more to mobilise voters, says Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil.
Preliminary investigations into the political setbacks faced by Pakatan Harapan in the recent elections of Johor and Negri Sembilan suggest that the coalition must improve its voter mobilisation efforts, according to Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil. The PKR information chief clarified that the party's electoral challenges were not due to its attack strategy.
Fahmi, who also serves as the PH communications director, affirmed that the party's focus should be on identifying and engaging voters on polling day. He stressed that candidates must concentrate on introducing themselves and outlining their plans for their respective constituencies. In Johor, where the party secured only eight out of the 56 seats, a decline from the 12 it had won in 2022, while in Negri Sembilan, the party failed to retain control of the state it had governed since 2018, winning just 11 of the 36 seats.
