PETALING JAYA: An analyst has said it is difficult to predict who young voters will be supporting in the upcoming Johor elections.

The polls, which must be held by March 23, will be the first to have 18-year-olds as voters, following the successful implementation of Undi18.

Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the presence of the young voters, and others voting for the first time, would pose a challenge not only for Umno, but the other parties as well, as it would be hard to predict their mood.

He told FMT the competing parties needed to set up their efforts to woo the first-time voters, and allowing teachers to be actively involved in politics could boost Umno’s chances of a resounding victory.
