Tread carefully in working with ‘weak’ PH, Bersatu told
Urimai chairman P Ramasamy says Bersatu should also use the Melaka polls to test a wider opposition pact ahead of GE16.
Bersatu, a component of Perikatan Nasional (PN), has been rumored to be in talks with Pakatan Harapan (PH) for potential political cooperation ahead of the Melaka state election. However, Bersatu's Urimai chairman, P Ramasamy, has cautioned the coalition to proceed with caution. Ramasamy believes that Bersatu is at one of its weakest political points and suggests that the party should use the state election as a platform to test broader political cooperation in preparation for the 16th general election (GE16).
He argues that PKR, DAP, and Amanah have all seen a decline in political support, with PKR and DAP losing much of their non-Malay support and DAP no longer being able to rely on Chinese support. Ramasamy contends that Bersatu alone cannot shape the outcome of the Melaka election, but that wider electoral cooperation could help the party avoid three-cornered fights and consolidate Malay and non-Malay votes.
He encourages Bersatu to use Melaka as a political testing ground to develop and sustain a broader political formula ahead of GE16.
