<h1>Senior opposition leader urges united alliance to defeat ruling party, warns vote-splitting risks and stresses electoral reform</h1> A senior opposition figure argued that a broad opposition alliance could defeat the ruling party if it unites and coordinates, noting the ruling party captured roughly one-third of votes in the last three general elections and that about two-thirds of voters did not support it. The speaker warned that internal competition risks fragmenting the non-ruling vote but identified signs both for possible cohesion and for weakness within the ruling camp. The remarks accompanied promotion of a book asserting a long-term erosion of democratic institutions, accelerated since 2014, and urged electoral politics as a remedy.
