Anwar needs to bow out eventually, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has proposed various ways for Pakatan Harapan (PH) to make a comeback following its poor showing in the Melaka polls yesterday.

For a start, Wong Chin Huat suggested that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim step down and merge his party with Amanah.

He said Anwar’s leadership had been called into question again after PKR’s wipeout in the polls, losing all 11 seats it contested.

He said the most realistic solution might be a two-step transition, with Anwar bowing out as part of the second step.

“The first step is to form a shadow Cabinet that can offer a collective leadership for PH’s 89 MPs.”

It could draw up an effective policy to compete with Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN).
