Malaysia state polls: Surveys predict status quo, but more Malay votes could shift to PN
GEORGE TOWN - Two major independent pollsters have predicted that the results of Saturday’s state elections in Malaysia will maintain the status quo, butMerdeka Center and Ilham Centre have predicted that the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional unity coalition will retain control of Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan, while Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah will remain under opposition coalition Perikatan Nasional .
“PH likely will retain most seats in the three states it controls, except in areas where Malay voters are more than 75 per cent,” said Merdeka Center programmes director and co-founder Ibrahim Suffian at a webinar organised by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore on Thursday.
“Umno’s leadership will remain united as most of its dissenting figures have been expelled,” Mr Ibrahim said, referring to a purge carried out by Umno president Zahid Hamidi in January. “This situation can be stemmed if Umno leaders meet the grassroots to explain their decision to work with DAP and Anwar Ibrahim,” said Ilham Centre.
