The contest for Johor’s 56-seat assembly has put Anwar’s multi-ethnic party in an awkward position, but analysts say the election is not about who would win but how big the win would be.
Azmi Hassan, a senior fellow at the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, said for PH the benchmark was not forming the state government – which he described as “very impossible” – but winning more seats than it had held before dissolution.
“For PH, a good result would be to win more than the 12 seats they had. If they win fewer than 12 seats, that would be a bad result,” he said.
PH leaders have sought to frame the election as a fight for checks and balances rather than assuming control of the state government.
