Since the 2004 elections, or GE11, when Barisan Nasional swept the seats almost clean, the Malaysian political landscape has been in constant change as opposition parties have been gaining ground from one election after another. The balance of the new voters is from the automatic voter registration (AVR) process as all Malaysian citizens, whether in Malaysia or overseas, have now been turned into voters. To add another spanner into the equation, a total of 6.23 million new voters will be voting for the first time, of which some 1.39 million voters are from the #Undi18 cohort. With a crowded field of more than 940 candidates running for the coveted 222 parliamentary seats, the multi-cornered fights across almost all seats make it even more difficult to predict the winners in this election. THAT is a sixty-four-thousand-dollar question as post-dissolution and run-up to the Malaysian 15th General Election (GE15), the line is getting much more complicated to predict after the nomination process was completed last week.
