Rafizi Ramli says PKR must be aggressive, highlighting the government’s achievements and exposing scandals involving opposition leaders

Former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said the party must showcase what the government has achieved in a way that can’t be denied.

PETALING JAYA: PKR must adopt a more aggressive political strategy if the party hopes to secure victory in the next general election, says its former deputy president Rafizi Ramli.

He said the party’s approach should be focused on two key aspects, that is, by aggressively highlighting the current government’s tangible achievements, and openly exposing weaknesses or scandals involving opposition leaders.

“We have to showcase what the government has achieved in a way that can’t be denied. At the same time, we must expose failures and scandals involving opposition figures,” the former economy minister said on his podcast last night.


However, Rafizi claimed that such strategies are currently missing from the PKR leadership’s approach.

Pakatan Harapan (PH) secured a total of 82 seats at the last general election in 2022 (GE15), with PKR contributing 31 of those seats.


While this marked a decline of 16 seats from the 47‑seat count in GE14 in 2018, PKR remained the second-largest party within the coalition behind DAP (40 seats).

In May, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim called for all PKR leaders and members to strengthen the party in preparation for the next general election (GE16), which must be held by early 2028.

Anwar, who is also the prime minister, added that PKR must reject the politics of hatred, slander and racism, which will only divide the people and weaken the country.
