Keywords:
Malaysian politics, consociationalism, political realism, electoral alliances, ; state electionsAbstract
This article analyses the electoral cooperation between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) after the 15th General Election (PRU15), focussing on state elections and by-elections.This study uses a qualitative approach and is analysed based on the theory of political consensus (Lijphart, 1969) and political realism (Morgenthau, 1948) to understand the dynamics and effectiveness of this cooperation.The study findings indicate that the PH-BN cooperation is more tactical in nature and does not reflect a deep form of consensus.DAP maintains strong support while UMNO experiences a decline, particularly in majority Malay areas.This cooperation also does not involve all BN component parties, as UMNO is the only BN component party that benefits from this cooperation.However, this cooperation plays an important role in ensuring short-term stability and providing competition to Perikatan Nasional.This study contributes to the academic discourse on the evolution of coalition politics in the increasingly complex Malaysian political landscape.
