KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 16): The 15th general election (GE15) is unlikely to produce a clear winner, although Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Pakatan Harapan (PH) is most likely to with the largest share of the votes (35%), according to British international internet-based market research and data analytics firm.
In a statement on Wednesday (Nov 16), the pollster said that Perikatan Nasional (PN), a coalition of former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s party and PAS, are set to pick up 20% of the votes, with incumbent Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s Barisan Nasional (BN) trailing at 17%.
YouGov Asia Pacific head of public affairs and polling Dr Campbell White said while PH is likely to perform well in urban parts of Malaysia, the substantially lower number of voters required to win a seat in rural electorates where BN and PN are likely to perform well means that the Parliament is likely to be very complex.
