Will Rafizi’s aura hamper BN’s resurgence among voters?

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Recently, former Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli revealed that a simulation exercise conducted during the Johor state election showed almost 40,000 voters who were previously sitting on the fence were shifting their support to Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN).

Worried about such a trend, Rafizi finally decided to return to the political stage and confirmed that he would contest for the post of PKR deputy president in the next party election.

PKR will hold elections for its leadership posts for the period 2022 to 2025, from May 13 to 18.

The re-emergence of Rafizi, a former PKR vice-president, has actually been awaited by many. From supporters of Pakatan Harapan (PH), especially PKR, to ordinary citizens, there have been expectations of him to return to the political arena.

Jamaie Hamil, a senior lecturer of political science at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, regards Rafizi’s reappearance as giving new light to PH in facing the upcoming 15th general election (GE15).
