KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders and political observers have hailed PKR’s move to reappoint Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as its secretary-general, as the opposition moves to present itself as a cohesive coalition in the forthcoming 15th general election (GE15).
Saifuddin, a veteran PKR personality, is known for his conciliatory approach to resolving any potential disagreements among the allies in the coalition.
This is especially so as the opposition bloc has been walking a tightrope following the infamous Sheraton Move, a series of defeats in the Johor, Melaka, Sabah, and Sarawak state elections, as well as several by-elections.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said Saifuddin played a key role in maintaining ties between his party and other allies from Amanah and Upko.
“Yes, Saifuddin plays an important role within PH. He is a consensus builder,” Loke told The Vibes when contacted yesterday.
