Ahli Bersama digesa kembali ke PH demi agenda reformasi

Ahli Bersama, a party affiliated with PKR, is set to return to Pakatan Harapan (PH) in a bid to avoid further political fragmentation that would weaken the reform agenda. The move comes after the party suffered a crushing defeat in the Melaka by-elections, losing all 16 contested seats.

Former DAP Melaka chief Damian Yeo emphasized that while differences in opinion are inevitable, they should not lead to protracted fragmentation. He argued that the struggle for reform is far greater than any individual or political party, and that it is essential to prioritize common interests over personal differences. However, Yeo also urged PH leadership to be open to listening to diverse perspectives, engaging in constructive dialogue, and making necessary reforms.

The disappointment stemming from the recent defeat was compounded by a similar outcome in the Johor PRN elections earlier this year, where the party also failed to win any seats out of the 15 contested areas. Since May, Ahli Bersama has been promoting its reform-oriented agenda, focusing on institutional reform, child protection, social protection, and plans to reduce the number of foreign workers.
