Young voters likely to rule the roost in GE15

PETALING JAYA: An Umno-PAS pact will pose a challenge to Pakatan Harapan, but it’s the millions of predominantly young Malaysians casting their ballots for the first time in the next general election who hold the keys to victory.

An analysis by The Star based on the 14th General Election (GE14) results shows that the combined votes for Umno and PAS candidates outnumbered the ballots for Pakatan Harapan winners in 21 parliament seats and 45 state seats.
