GPS tiada sebab untuk kerjasama dengan PKR, kata penganalisis
Penganalisis berkata keberadaan PKR di Putrajaya juga tidak memberi kelebihan kepada parti itu.
Analysts contend that there is no reason for GPS to collaborate with PKR, following the PKR's call for political parties to keep their collaborative doors always open. GPS, which holds the majority of seats in Sarawak, has no need to cooperate with PKR or any other party due to its dominant position in the region, according to an analyst from the National Science Academy.
Such collaboration in the upcoming election would only harm GPS by forcing the ruling bloc to fulfill the demands of their new allies. GPS's strong performance is evident with its 79 seats in the 12th National Assembly, following three Sarawak United Party (PSB) MPs joining the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and the PSB dissolving.
Only two DAP MPs remain, the analyst told FMT. GPS comprises the United PAS Party (PBB), PDP, Sarawak United Party (SUPP), and Sarawak People's Party (PRS), and aims to contest all 82 seats in the upcoming PRN. PKR's call for open political collaboration ended the previous day, after GPS declared it would not accommodate any partnership proposals from any mainland-based party in the next PRN.
The PKR delegation's lack of success in all contested seats in PRN highlighted the lack of automatic collaboration between parties at the federal level, the analyst explained. The absence of a people's representative means that PKR candidates must work harder to introduce the party to voters and convince them of its ability to continue serving, the analyst told FMT.
Building such trust typically develops between elections, when citizens observe which party best addresses their concerns, he added. PKR's chances are more difficult outside urban areas, as the party must consistently reach out to rural and long-distance communities, the analyst noted. Indeed, GPS is too strong for PKR to challenge, especially given its weakened position in Sarawak.
PKR's presence in Putrajaya is not a significant advantage, as GPS is part of the ruling bloc and can pursue its own state interests, the analyst concluded.
