Cracks deepen but PH can’t afford a break-up, say analysts

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A political analyst says cracks in Pakatan Harapan are deepening, but the former ruling coalition is unlikely to break up because its main component parties are too weak to stand on their own.

“DAP cannot win the hearts and minds of Malay voters. Amanah is a small party and PKR is at its weakest point,” said Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir.

He said PKR lost a lot of its strength when those linked to former deputy president Azmin Ali quit the party.

Recent issues in Johor, such as PKR’s choice to forego using the PH logo and the party’s unhappiness over Amanah’s surrendering of the Puteri Wangsa seat to Muda, also showed the state of disunity in the party, he said.
