Best for BN to go solo in Johor polls, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: It is in the best interest of Barisan Nasional (BN) to contest the upcoming Johor elections without cooperating with parties outside the coalition, according to an analyst.

Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the uncertainty of the other parties’ chances in the polls made it a bad idea for BN to give up seats it could itself vie for.

“Even if they do win, it is unsure that they will remain in support of BN,” he told FMT.

“PAS, for example, would still stick with Bersatu. This will be a loss for Umno and will weaken its dominance in BN.”
