PETALING JAYA: Warisan will still need to work with Pakatan Harapan if it hopes to make some impact in the next elections, despite trying to position itself as an alternative to the opposition coalition, says an analyst.

Former academic Azmi Hassan said there was not much that Shafie Apdal’s party could offer West Malaysian voters as Warisan was Sabah-based and carried with it the “stigma of fighting only for Sabahans”.

But the party might appeal to voters if it cooperated with Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s Muda since Muda was new and ideologically “refreshing”.

“I consider Warisan-Muda as an opposition pact and it will appeal to supporters who in the first place don’t vote for the government, namely Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional.
