Be prepared to lose 2 more GEs, Nurul Izzah tells PH
PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan will need at least 10 more years or two general elections before it can retake the federal government, says Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar.
The former PKR vice-president told Sinar Harian she foresaw PH having a tough time in GE15 and losing many parliamentary and state seats.Echoing her party colleague Rafizi Ramli, Nurul Izzah said PH needed to become an opposition bloc “with dignity” and offer voters something that was different yet more realistic compared to GE14.
“I feel that it won’t be easy for PH to win in the coming general election and we have to be prepared to lose two rounds (of general elections) before the people can accept us again.The former PKR vice-president told Sinar Harian she foresaw PH having a tough time in GE15 and losing many parliamentary and state seats.Echoing her party colleague Rafizi Ramli, Nurul Izzah said PH needed to become an opposition bloc “with dignity” and offer voters something that was different yet more realistic compared to GE14.
“I’m being very realistic because, to me, it will take time for our ‘product differentiation’ to succeed. Because the people and, even myself, are still traumatised over what happened when PH was in government for 22 months ” she said.
