Early indications of a lacklustre turnout by voters in Selangor have raised concerns among political parties.
According to political pundits, a low Chinese voter turnout coupled with a high Malay voter turnout might boost Perikatan Nasional’s chances of capturing Selangor.
While Malay votes would decide whether it was a big majority or a slim margin for Perikatan, Liew said Pakatan-Barisan would need at least a 70% Chinese voter turnout to secure Selangor. Liew said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement on the Madani Economy roadmap had undoubtedly earned him more Malay support in urban areas.“The unity pact urgently needs to come up with strategies to push for a higher Chinese voter turnout if they want to win with a large majority like in 2018 .
Forecasting a lower overall voter turnout than in GE15, he said Pakatan needed to encourage more Chinese, especially those in rural seats, to come out and vote.Current affairs observer and columnist Koh Kok Wee said Perikatan was adopting two strategies in Selangor.
