MUAR — The state of Johor swung back to a Pakatan Harapan (PH) majority in the latest Malaysian General Election 2022 (GE2022), with the opposition coalition clinching most of the 26 available seats — a reversal of fortunes from the State Elections held in March.

Experts said that the results in Johor mirror the results across Malaysia.

For instance, he noted that a majority of the seats that PH had won — eight out of 14 — saw PH receive less than 50 per cent of the votes. "We shall see if what he presented in his manifesto will come to fruition... that he didn’t do it to create drama during just for this general elections."Businessman Ashari Hairi, 51, poses for a photo at a coffee shop in Muar, Johor, on Nov 20, 2022.

"He has been in politics for about 40 years, so I don’t think we need to question him, whatever his idea is, he’ll definitely do well."Over at Ayer Hitam, a close fight seemed in the offing, as it had been a tight battle during GE2018, with the incumbent Wee Ka Siong from BN winning by only 303 votes.
