00:00APCO President Iwan Benedict is not the right man to lead Sabah Pakatan Harapan, according
00:07to two analysts.
00:10Hishamuddin Bakar of Ilham Center said Iwan, who is Kadasan Dusun, is not representative
00:16of the majority of seats that PH is likely to contest at the state elections next year.
00:23Sabah PH currently holds seven seats in the state assembly, of which all except Iwan's
00:28Kadamayan seat are urban constituencies.
00:33Analyst O Eesan said a better alternative was Sabah DAP Chairman Fung Jin-ze as DAP
00:39holds four seats in the state assembly, compared to one for APCO.
00:44O Seyfung must work on his charisma to become Sabah PH's poster boy, but his media presence
00:51gives him an edge over Iwan.
00:54However, Hishamuddin said a DAP figure could not lead Sabah PH effectively as the party
01:01did not reflect the state's diversity.
01:03Iwan was elected Sabah PH Chief by a margin of three votes on December 1st, ousting Christina
01:11Liu of PKR from a post she had held since 2017.
