Pakatan Harapan (PH) Secretary-General Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated his belief that the Democratic Action Party (DAP) will prioritize national interests and political stability, even as it determines its own future direction. He suggested that DAP's extensive experience in politics would naturally lead them to consider the importance of maintaining a stable political climate.
"I believe the DAP leadership has their wisdom, as a very strong party for so long," Saifuddin said. "DAP will certainly put the country's interests first in terms of political stability and continuing with the situation that is already going well."

When asked if DAP had briefed PH on their internal deliberations, Saifuddin indicated it was unnecessary, stating, "It is not DAP's responsibility to brief PH to make decisions in line with their policies and political approaches." The DAP's national congress is set to take place this Sunday, where over 4,200 delegates nationwide will vote on the party's direction. A key vote is expected on whether DAP should remain in or leave the current government, a decision that could have significant political ramifications.
