Personality politics must go, says Rafizi in comeback speech

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN: Personality politics can no longer swing votes at the polls as the electorate has become more discerning, says former Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli.

He gave an example where following Pakatan Harapan’s massive losses over a few elections, there have been calls to have certain leaders to be brought in to recreate a winning streak similar to the election “tsunami” that swept PH to power in 2018.

“Some people in PH think that without Dr Mahathir Mohamad, we will not win. This shows they are so separated from reality on the ground and with the electorate.

“There are some in PH whose view is that politics is about creating a tsunami, where they say people would follow (a personality) just because one person is there. I disagree with this because people are not stupid.
