A political analyst, Awang Azman Pawi, suggests a growing rift between PAS and Bersatu could hinder a complete victory for the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition in the Kedah state election. The dispute may lead to voter confusion and potentially erode Bersatu’s support base in certain electoral districts. This internal conflict within the ruling coalition presents a challenge to PN’s ambitions of a “clean sweep” in Kedah. Pawi indicates the disagreement could impact voting patterns, potentially benefiting opposing parties. The analyst’s assessment highlights the importance of party unity in securing electoral success. The situation introduces an element of uncertainty into the Kedah election outcome, previously anticipated to heavily favor PN. This development suggests a more contested election than initially predicted.
