Muda gambit is about forming a govt, says Guan Eng

PETALING JAYA: DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has defended the party’s decision to give up seats to Muda in the coming Johor polls, saying it would help strengthen the opposition.

He agreed that some might find it “unusual” for him to focus on strengthening another party instead of the DAP. “But if you only look at strengthening yourself, how does that help to promote your big tent?” he told FMT, referring to a concept espoused by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim aimed at strengthening the opposition bloc.

DAP and Amanah had earlier this month made way for Muda to contest in six seats: Puteri Wangsa, Tenang, Bukit Kepong, Parit Raja, Machap and Bukit Permai.
