'PKR, not DAP, will be biggest opposition party'

PKR will form the biggest opposition party if the BN remains in federal power after the next general elections, said DAP national publicity chief Tony Pua.

He was rebutting a political analyst’s opinion that the DAP would take pole position in the Pakatan Rakyat.

Pua said the DAP will only contest 40-50 parliamentary seats.

Without revealing the number of seats that PKR is to contest, he said it will still be the biggest opposition party.

“How can we become the biggest party in Pakatan?” asked Pua in refuting the views of Michael Yeoh, the CEO of the Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute (Asli).

“Either PAS or PKR will have probably the most number of seats, and we think it will be PKR.”

Yeoh had projected that Pakatan will win 99 parliamentary seats, with 123 seats to go to the BN.
