KUALA LUMPUR: In the wake of its poor showing in the Johor state election, Pakatan Harapan (PH) has resolved to take certain actions to overcome its weaknesses, including by holding a convention to strengthen its struggle.
\nThe\u00a0PH presidential council, in a statement today, said the outcome of the Johor polls on Saturday showed that it needed\u00a0to take immediate\u00a0action, especially to revise its strategy for the 15th general election (GE15).
\nIt admitted that among the issues identified were electoral clashes involving opposition parties, the use of party logos, low voter turnout and unsatisfactory communication by PH on current issues which saw the coalition winning only 12 of the 56 seats contested.
\n“These weaknesses cannot be overcome by just one party or any single effort but must be managed jointly and in a comprehensive manner,\u201d the statement said.
\nIt said PH would strive to build cooperation among opposition parties so that they could work together to defeat Barisan Nasional (BN).
\n\u201cOpposition parties should not just contest in PH areas as it will reduce votes for the coalition and indirectly increase the chances of victory for BN,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
PH said it would set out sustainable economic policies which can resolve the people\u2019s problems, such as unemployment, the cost of living issue and COVID-19 pandemic management.
\nIt also wants the Anti-Party Hopping Bill to be tabled and approved in the current Parliament meeting, adding that the top leaders of PH\u00a0would hold a meeting with the prime minister soon.
