Be realistic about our election chances, Rafizi tells PH
PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan should be realistic about the coalition’s changes at the next general election and not be overconfident of victory, according to PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli.
He said it would be better for PKR and PH to settle for remaining in opposition “with dignity” than to trumpet their optimism about winning the 15th general election.
“We have to ensure the balance between the government and the opposition blocs. PH and PKR must be a functional opposition that could play the check and balance role,” he said.
In an interview with Sinar Harian, he acknowledged that his view was not favoured by PH leaders. However, the coalition must not be in denial about their election chances, especially as voters themselves did not believe PH was able to win.
