The May 2 election results were a resounding vote of confidence for state chairman Liew Chin Tong, say researchers.

Broadly speaking, contenders in the recent Johor party elections can be divided into two camps.

The second camp comprises the “grassroots faction” led by Tan Hong Pin. Born in Johor and the state assembly representative for Skudai, Tan was in the state government cabinet during the Pakatan Harapan administration. Liew retains his state chairmanship, and Teo, MP for Kulai and the former Deputy Minister of Education, was re-elected as the Johor deputy chairman.
