Yoursay Azmin Joining Gerakan Is Too Far Fetched An Idea

---

YOURSAY | 'If Azmin leaves PKR, it will be for greener pastures and not for a sinking, leaking ship.'Gerakan veep: We'll rise again with Azmin if rumours are true
Awang Top: PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali is embroiled in a scandal and Gerakan wants him? Gerakan would have to deal with his scandal for many months to come
Also, does this mean Azmin won't be part of the cabinet since Gerakan is an opposition party? Very intriguing
ChuenTick: Oh, come on. Gerakan must be so desperate, its leaders have become delusional
Azmin is a political animal. If he leaves PKR, it will be for greener pastures and not for a sinking, leaking ship
Puzzling: Azmin has strong support in PKR and may even be stronger than we can imagine. Therefore, it will make more sense for Azmin to at least attempt to take over the leadership of PKR from president Anwar Ibrahim
If he fails, the next logical step is to join Bersatu which will readily accept him and his team of members of Parliament
It is too far-fetched to think that he will join Gerakan. It just does not make any sense
Whichever of the above happens, Anwar's prospect of becoming the next prime minister will be threatened
Siva1967: Actually, the notion is a welcomed proposition. With Azmin moving to Gerakan and the party making an exception for him to become party president, and with his followers joining him, Gerakan can truly become a multi-racial party
This will pave the way towards a more "Malaysian" Malaysia and with all races supporting Azmin (Gerakan), we might have a better united Malaysia
I say Azmin should go for it. Come out of the shadow of Anwar and Dr Mahathir Mohamad and carve his own destiny. Sex video or not, I think it will be better for Malaysia in the long run
From one Gombak guy to the other: "Azmin, go for it."Anonymous 1689721435778173: Wishful thinking, Gerakan. Your glory days are over. Azmin is likely to remain in PKR. He will not join Bersatu, because of his non-Malay supporters
Why would he join Gerakan? Just because it is multiracial? How can it add value to Azmin's cause? He can very well form his own multiracial party without Gerakan's baggage
Fair Play: In politics, never say never. This is a speculative comment. There may be some element of truth about Azmin’s move to Gerakan
According to the report, Azmin has some 15 MPs in his camp. If he remains in PKR, he and his entourage might be annihilated unless he thinks he can topple Anwar as head of PKR
By joining Gerakan, he will be the top dog and not just a general. Gerakan would then be bigger than Bersatu in terms of the number of MPs
Gerakan is based in Penang and Azmin would have the opportunity to woo Penang voters away from DAP and make Penang his home base
Without Mahathir, Bersatu will likely fade into the horizon and Azmin’s ambition to be the eighth prime minister might likely turn into smoke. DAP should take this matter seriously
Determined Sarawakian: Why would Azmin want to leave PKR? He's the second man there and doing a fantastic job previously as Selangor menteri besar and now as a good economic affairs minister
Mowgli - Jungle Book: This just goes to show that there is a dearth of capable leaders within Gerakan since the demise of founding president Lim Chong Eu. The party is now like parched earth. Sad indeed
And Justice for all: Not possible at all. Azmin wants to be in the government
If he joins Gerakan, there is no possibility of Gerakan being admitted into Harapan. DAP and PKR will not admit the party into Harapan. Hence, Gerakan and he will be a member of the opposition, which will not be so enticing to his supporters
So it’s Bersatu if they ever do it. But Mahathir cannot make Azmin prime minister if he joins Bersatu. Not with Bersatu's 20 seats, plus the 15-odd seats Azmin brings in. His old pals from PAS may throw their support behind him, which probably adds another 16 or 17 seats
He would probably get Parti Warisan Sabah, Gabungan Parti Sarawak and some Umno people to support him. This means Mahathir will need to form a new alliance and screw Harapan in the process
All this to make Azmin prime minister? The question is, how deep is Mahathir's love for him? So, the answer is no
Azmin needs to conquer PKR from within if he wants to be prime minister. The numbers in, and out, of Harapan are not in his favour
Azmin needs to hope to God that Mahathir doesn't leave him out to dry in the process. He is as good as over. I wouldn't say finished, because in politics nobody is really finished until they are dead
Howway: Haha, the party has lost all relevance and is clinging on to rumours to get into the news, any news. What shameful leadership. - Mkini
