KUALA LUMPUR – The upcoming Johor polls is set to be a test bed for parties contesting, as everyone looks to gauge their influence and capabilities in anticipation of a general election (GE).

This is especially so against the sentiments of new and younger voters, analysts said.

With almost the entire lot of local parties announcing their inclusion despite it being the third in the last four months, pundits say the raised stakes at the Johor polls with the introduction of Undi18 and automatic voter registrations, is also a probable reason for the high participation rate.

Undi18 debuts to Muda’s gain?

Pundits agreed that stakes have never been higher for the youth-based party, with Universiti Malaya academic Prof Awang Azman Awang Pawi saying their performance in Johor could influence their overall credibility as a viable option for voters.
