Analyst Kamarul Zaman Yusoff notes that Chini lies within Najib Razak’s stronghold of Pekan.
Azmi Hassan of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia said only a “non-significant number” of Malay voters would be alienated, and Kamarul Zaman Yusoff of Universiti Utara Malaysia described the former prime minister’s influence in Chini as “very negligible”. He said a better way to gauge the impact of Mahathir’s sacking was to see if it would cause defections from PPBM.He noted that Chini, a state constituency, lies within former prime minister Najib Razak’s stronghold of Pekan, for which he is the MP.Kamarul criticised Mahathir for being “neither here nor there” on various issues and said he was slowly fading into oblivion, perhaps retaining some popularity only in his home state of Kedah.
