: The fierce jostling for 56 state seats, to form the new state government in the Johor state election, will begin tomorrow.
Mathematically, MUDA, which is a strategic partner of PH as well as Pejuang which will be contesting in 42 state seats, can form the state government if they get a simple majority of 29 seats.The Election Commission has set March 12 as polling day, with nomination day being tomorrow and early voting on March 8.
“If their strategy is successful, it will be adopted in GE15, and if they lose, improvements and interventions will be made to face the next election,” he told Bernama today. “I think most parties will try to unite either in a consistent or loose frame like in the United Kingdom or the United States . This we can see in PH and PN, which are a mixture of various aspirations of the parties but try to unite within the same frame,” he said.
