PKR hopes DAP will make positive decision on unity government position tomorrow
AYЕR KEROH: PKR is hoping for a “positive” outcome from the DAP national congress, where party delegates will decide whether it should remain in the unity government or otherwise.
The Democratic Action Party (DAP) is set to make a crucial decision at its national congress, which could impact the unity government's composition. PKR, a component partner in the government, is hopeful for a positive outcome from the DAP meeting as it considers whether to remain in the coalition or withdraw its representatives.
PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh expressed confidence that the DAP's decision would prioritize the people's interests. Meanwhile, DAP information chief Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil stated that the party's immediate focus remains on its own congress and efforts to strengthen its organization. Throughout the congress, delegates have primarily discussed the party's communication, electoral strategies, and machinery strengthening.
However, discussions on political partnerships within the unity government, particularly regarding Umno's commitment, have also been raised. It is notable that DAP delegates have not yet mentioned the possibility of withdrawing from the federal administration, despite this decision being the subject of much speculation. Should the DAP vote to withdraw, it could have significant implications for the unity government and potentially prompt Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to consider an early general election.
