KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Harapan’s latest loss in Kimanis – the fifth in a string of losses – is putting pressure on the coalition, say analysts, pointing to underdevelopment, internal political conflict and unfulfilled manifesto as some of the reasons for their defeat.
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Communication and Media Studies lecturer Assoc Prof Datuk Dr Ismail Sualman said the prolonged issue of underdevelopment, internal political conflict and unfulfilled manifesto pledges by the Pakatan-led government may have influenced Warisan’s loss in the Kimanis by-election.
