Analyst sees Gerakan heading for another election disaster

PETALING JAYA: An analyst foresees Gerakan repeating its dismal performance in 2018 at the next general election, potentially losing all parliamentary and state seats that it aims to contest.

Universiti Malaya’s Awang Azman Pawi said it would be difficult for Gerakan to win seats as Chinese voters who used to be its main base of support, now sided with Pakatan Harapan.

Another reason for the reluctance of Chinese voters to back Gerakan was that it is now a part of Muhyiddin Yassin’s Perikatan Nasional coalition.

“At GE14, Gerakan did not win any of the state assembly and parliamentary seats it contested, and I expect this to be repeated if Gerakan can’t woo Chinese voters,” he said.
