A stakeholder is defined as any individual, group, or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a project. This means that someone who thinks they will be affected by a project qualifies as a stakeholder. Additionally, stakeholders can be either internal or external to the corporate organization. Therefore, both statements are correct.
so they just need to think they are affected to be a stakeholder?
"Any individual, group or organization that can affect, be affected by or perceive itself to be affected by, an initiative". So by perceiving yourself to be affected, i.e. you think to you are affected makes you a stakeholder. Both are correct then.
