Ramasamy’s new party unlikely to sway Indian voters, say analysts

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Two political analysts have poured cold water on the ability of a new party set up by P Ramasamy to woo Indian voters, citing the outcome of the six state elections in August.

James Chin of the University of Tasmania said while the former Penang deputy chief minister did not contest in the Penang election, the latter’s allies did, and lost their deposits.

Satees Muniandy, who contested in Bagan Dalam, secured only 1,111 votes, while former Seberang Perai city councillor David Marshel, who stood in Perai, only managed 1,439 votes.
