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.
