KOTA KINABALU: As Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) strengthens with the inclusion of two more political parties, it could, however, be a double-edged sword for the ruling coalition, say political analysts.
While the reason for the admission of Liberal Democratic Party and Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah is obvious, which is to shore up support from the electorate possibly not covered by the five other parties in GRS, Tony Paridi Bagang said there would be tensions when the next election rolled around.
“However, this could be addressed if all component parties compromise and mutually agree on whatever terms that they set. GRS secretary-general Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun on Wednesday said its supreme council had approved LDP and Harapan Rakyat’s applications to be component parties of the coalition led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
