PETALING JAYA: Analysts expect Barisan Nasional’s chances of winning the Johor elections to remain good despite a recent High Court order on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to defend himself against all 47 charges of corruption, criminal breach of trust and money laundering brought against him.

Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara and Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya told FMT they believed BN’s performance in last November’s Melaka polls showed that its leaders’ legal troubles had no bearing on its chances in state elections.

BN gained a two-thirds majority in the Melaka state assembly despite court cases involving several party members, including Zahid and former prime minister Najib Razak.

“I don’t see Zahid’s court case as having a negative impact on the party,” Azmi said.
