‘DAP, PKR risk losing voters if Pakatan infighting continues’

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN – DAP and PKR have the most to lose if the two Pakatan Harapan parties cannot resolve their festering spat ahead of the general election, as Penang voters could end up disenchanted with the constant politicking.

Political scientist Sivamurugan Pandian said impartial voters may be disheartened to witness PKR and DAP jostling among themselves for credit over the management of the pandemic.

“While each party has its core supporters, there are more fence-sitters than ever – especially with more youth voters – and they have the power to determine who survives and who falters in the next general election. These are the voters political parties need to take heed of.

“Although I think the current spat is mostly a rift among state excos, it has started to worsen as each side continues to issue rebuttals. If they are not careful, it could escalate into a crisis in Pakatan Harapan (PH),” he told The Vibes.
