PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election saw the biggest change in voting patterns from ethnic Indians, Malays and voters in their 40s.However, a closer look at the results in 18 polling districts and streams showed that despite the ruling coalition’s victory, it would need to redouble its efforts to persuade voters aged 18 to 40, who make up 49.7% of the constituents.
“The by-election continues the momentum of identity politics that clearly emerged in the 15th General Election in 2022 and in the six state elections in 2023,” said political analyst Hisommudin Bakar. Parti Rakyat Malaysia’s Hafizah Zainuddin and Independent candidate Nyau Ke Xin officially lost their deposits after only getting 152 and 188 votes, respectively.During the by-election’s two-week campaign period, Ilham had conducted face-to-face interviews with 404 respondents for its survey of voting trends, in which the centre predicted that Pakatan would have a slight edge.

This enabled Pakatan to win the majority of the votes in the Pertak and Sungai Air Jernih polling districts.ALSO READ:Local Umno activist Syed Idris Syed Shamir puts down the slight increase in Malay support for Pakatan to the closer rapport between his party members and DAP.
