Political realities behind PH ‘snub’ for Muda, say analysts

PETALING JAYA: Fundamental political reasons are likely to be the reason the youth party Muda suffered what it considers a snub by Pakatan Harapan, say some political analysts.

Chief among the analysts’ concerns is Muda’s poor electoral track record.

“Muda is a new party that has no influence,” said Mazlan Ali of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, citing Muda’s poor performance in the 2022 Johor state elections.

Muda candidates contested seven seats but won only Puteri Wangsa, a constituency that Mazlan described as “a safe Pakatan Harapan seat”.
