Independent candidates could be kingmakers in GE15, says think tank

KUALA LUMPUR: The Emir Research think-tank finds that Independent candidates could be kingmakers in the next General Election, as support for the Umno-PAS alliance and Pakatan Harapan appeared "too close to call".

In a survey conducted prior to the Tanjung Piai by-election, 17% of respondents said they would support Independent candidates, while 38% supported Umno-PAS and 41% supported Pakatan.
