PETALING JAYA: Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said he took full responsibility for the party’s dismal showing in Saturday's (Aug 12) six state elections.

The Muar MP, however, believes that as young leaders, the party’s defeat in all 19 seats it contested will serve as a"maturing experience".

MUDA performed poorly in the elections, with their candidates losing their deposits in 20 constituencies. Contesting candidates lose their deposits if they fail to obtain one-eighth or 12.5 per cent of the total number of votes counted for the state constituency involved.
