Following DAP's National Congress vote to remain in the unity government, questions remain over how the party should leverage its position. Charles Santiago, former DAP lawmaker and former MP for Klang, joins BFM’s Morning Brief to analyse the 48% delegate turnout at the Congress and explain why the party must urgently recalibrate its relationship and agenda-setting process with the Prime Minister.

He emphasises the need to prioritise people-centered reforms over purely political maneuvers, highlighting cost-of-living pressures, anti-corruption transparency, gig worker protections, and targeted governance mechanisms for Indian community affairs, to deliver on Pakatan Harapan's promises and restore voter confidence before the current term ends.
