Analysts: Rafizi’s return will reinvigorate PKR, but expect turbulence ahead with Pakatan partners, DAP and Amanah

KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — Rafizi Ramli officially ended his three-year hiatus from Malaysian politics on Tuesday with the announcement that he would be running for PKR deputy president when party elections take place in April.

The former PKR strongman also said that he was coming back to help his party and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition attract more supporters.

Some view the return of the one-time Pandan MP — who is known for his strong stance against corruption, as well as for taking the lid off a number of high-profile controversies — as a good step forward for PH to win back voters come the 15th general election (GE15), which many believe Barisan Nasional (BN) will be pushing for following its thumping victory in the recently concluded Johor state polls.

With all this in mind, Malay Mail spoke to several political analysts and researchers to find out what Rafizi's reemergence really means for PKR and PH.
