Johor polls: A repeat of Melaka on the cards?

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Nomination day has arrived, officially kicking off the Johor state elections, although the three main coalitions vying for power had begun their campaigning much earlier.

Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) made great efforts since early February to reach out to Johoreans, holding talks all around the state to “raise awareness” about current issues.

But Barisan Nasional (BN) will be hitting the campaign trail in high spirits following its thumping victory in Melaka last November, where PN and PH attempted and failed to form the state government on their own.

On the other hand, PH will be reeling from its heavy losses in both the Melaka and Sarawak state elections.

While BN and PN will be contesting all 56 state assembly seats, PH will be in all but six of them after DAP and Amanah made way for newcomers Muda.
