The aggressive campaigning, an attractive manifesto and sterling track records by the respective state governments are what will give PH-BN the advantage of triumphing over their erstwhile rivals theSun theSundaily stateelection politics Malaysia
: The groundswell of support drummed up by political heavyweights from both Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional in the first week of the campaigning period bodes well for the Unity Government alliance, which is forecasted to retain Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Penang when elections are held on Aug 12.
Universiti Selangor deputy vice-chancellor Assoc Prof Dr Hamdan Mohd Salleh said that the PH-BN partnership is expected to win Selangor comfortably, as the coordination and mobilisation of party machineries were well-organised and running smoothly in the past week of campaigning. Hamdan said that Anwar’s presence has helped boost the Unity Government’s candidates’ campaigns in Selangor, heavily impacting support from fence sitters and served to raise morale among party machinery, resulting in greater efforts to help candidates win.
Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia political analyst Dr Mohd Faizal Kasmani shared with Bernama that the PH-BN alliance would not face any difficulty in forming the state government just based on the previous track record and its administrative experience as the previous state government. In Penang, Universiti Sains Malaysia political analyst Prof Datuk Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said that the PN-BN alliance is still ahead in the race, but added that the second phase of the campaign period was critical to parties and candidates, especially the last 72 hours, as they must convince as many fence sitters as they could, as that group was prone to making decisions at the last minute.
