PETALING JAYA: Muda’s performance in the Johor elections, winning one seat out of the seven contested, has shown that young voters will not automatically vote for the party, says a political analyst.
The party, making its electoral debut just three months after being registered, scored its sole success through party secretary-general Amira Aisya Abd Aziz in the Puteri Wangsa seat.
James Chin of the University of Tasmania’s Asia Institute said the result proved that the country’s youth do not necessarily have a different voting pattern from their elders.

The results of the Johor state elect achieving a two-third majority in the 56-seat Johor state assembly by winning 40 seats (Umno 33, MCA 4, MIC 3). The coalition received 43.11% of the popular vote, up from 40.4% in 2018.
Although Muhyiddin Yassin’s Periions reflected the predictions of many political analysts. Now the reality of what just happened needs to be digested.
Talk had been going around for a long time about Umno and Barisan Nasional becoming the dominant political force once again. Now the nation has to live with this, and the many consequences arising from this result.
BN gained a resounding victory,katan Nasional coalition made up of Bersatu and PAS garnered 24.04% of the popular vote, the coalition was trounced and could muster only three seats (Bersatu 2, PAS 1). This represents a loss of 9 seats from the 2018 state elections.
Pakatan Harapan, which actually won the state government back in 2018, lost 15 seats, where they are now left with 12 seats.
DAP now has only 10 seats, a loss of four. PKR has only one seat, a loss of six seats, and Amanah one seat, with a loss of five seats. Seven PKR candidates lost their deposits, while four Amanah candidates lost theirs.

Opposition leader Anwar’s days are numbered, say analysts

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan’s poor showing in the Johor state elections could mark the death knell for the political career of PH chairman and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, according to analysts.
Akademi Nusantara senior fellow Azmi Hassan said Anwar’s days are “already numbered” after PH only managed to win 12 of the 56 seats in the state assembly, weakening the coalition’s influence in the legislature.
“The loss in Johor was much worse because the Melaka and Sarawak elections should have been the turning point for PH to study what went wrong and finetune their strategy, but that never happened,” he told FMT.
