Muda on path to irrelevance like Pejuang, PSM, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: Muda’s limited participation in the Aug 12 state elections shows it is only a fringe party and suggests it may be on the path towards irrelevance, says a political analyst.

Mazlan Ali of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia said Muda’s decision shows it is not a mainstream party and cannot serve as a viable alternative to Perikatan Nasional, Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan.

He said Muda risks going down a path similar to Pejuang, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) and Ibrahim Ali’s Putra, which he described as small parties without a track record of winning in any election.

“I expect (all) Muda (candidates) to lose their deposits. They will be defeated in all the contested seats because, I believe, voters will not choose Muda.

“They will opt for PH, which has been long-established in Malaysia and has proven its ability to form the government,” Mazlan told FMT.
