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.
