Big BN win in Johor should trigger GE15, says analyst

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: If Barisan Nasional (BN) wins big in Johor, it would be wise to ride on the wave of popularity by calling an early general election, a political analyst said.

Jeniri Amir, a Council of Professors fellow, said it would make sense for BN to mobilise for a general election should Johor go its way on Saturday.

The Umno-led coalition’s dominant win in Melaka late last year – where it secured a two-thirds majority – was soon followed by a crushing win for GPS in Sarawak, a party with roots in the now defunct BN Sarawak.
