Results show Muda can’t bank on youth vote, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: Muda’s performance in the Johor elections, winning one seat out of the seven contested, has shown that young voters will not automatically vote for the party, says a political analyst.

The party, making its electoral debut just three months after being registered, scored its sole success through party secretary-general Amira Aisya Abd Aziz in the Puteri Wangsa seat.

James Chin of the University of Tasmania’s Asia Institute said the result proved that the country’s youth do not necessarily have a different voting pattern from their elders.
