KUALA LUMPUR – If the various polls and surveys are to be taken at face value, the outcome of tomorrow’s general election seems to be a race that is wide open.
If the Economist UK is to be believed, Barisan Nasional (BN) will win. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) however said it will not win a two-thirds majority, and hence will need to look across the divide to form alliances to establish a federal government.
It also said the estimated 6.23 million new voters are not anticipated to make the necessary difference expected of the shift in voting patterns between the 18- and 24-year-olds.
The Malaysian Institute of National Development, meanwhile, polled 1,000 voters in 166 parliamentary constituencies in Peninsular Malaysia, and predicted that BN will get 75 seats, Pakatan Harapan (PH) 54 seats, and Perikatan Nasional (PN) 36 seats.
