Joining PH will guarantee Pejuang the votes of DAP and PKR supporters, says political analyst Azmi Hassan.
Awang Azman said Mahathir was once very popular because of his support for Anwar Ibrahim to take over as prime minister, but his popularity took a dive when he rejected Anwar’s candidacy as prime minister. Pejuang would need to get out of Mahathir’s shadow if the party really wanted to make political inroads, which could be done by giving younger leaders more room to voice their views and to determine the party’s direction.Azmi Hassan said BN’s huge majority in the by-election was helped by the Muafakat Nasional alliance of Umno and PAS, while the Pejuang candidate only obtained about a third of the votes that PH garnered in 2018.
