PETALING JAYA: Bersatu leader Muhyiddin Yassin may be caught between a rock and a hard place if elections are called in Johor, analysts say.

Senior fellow at Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research (NASR) Azmi Hassan said Umno is pushing for elections in the state to test Muhyiddin’s strength and support in what was once considered Barisan Nasional’s (BN) stronghold.

“One of the main reasons is to finish off Bersatu and put Muhyiddin in an awkward position during GE15 (the upcoming general election).

“That is why Umno is pushing for the state polls,” he told FMT.

Azmi said elections in Johor, which could take place just after Chinese New Year, would provide a stern test for Bersatu.
