GEORGE TOWN, May 22 — Penang DAP’s failed bid to hold the state’s elections together with the 15th general election could leave the party vulnerable when the poll is held later this year, Pakatan Harapan leaders have conceded.
“When the state election is held separately, there is less excitement among voters to come back so this might work against us,” he said. “There might be election fever among the voters and people might want to come back to vote since almost half the country will be in election mode,” he said. “However, reduced voter turnout might significantly affect the performance of DAP,” he said, adding that this could make the party more vulnerable in seats with mixed demographics.
He also said the local supporters for PH will still be there, mitigating the impact of a lower turnout and allowing the coalition to still put up a strong contest in the election.
