Does Harapan Need New Leadership?

Does Harapan Need New Leadership?

 A lot has been said about the largest opposition bloc, Pakatan Harapan, over the past year or so, particularly of its leader, Anwar Ibrahim. Langkah Sheraton happened because members of Pakatan Harapan decided to leave. And since Langkah Sheraton, Harapan hasn’t appeared to be an inspiring united force. Anwar Ibrahim himself hasn’t been successful in cobbling together the numbers, despite repeatedly indicating that he can or has. The question is, does Pakatan Harapan need a new leader? Ariff Adi Putera from the Institute of Development Studies joins us to discuss.
