‘Increase in new voters a challenge for all parties’

KUALA LUMPUR: The 750,000 new voters in the upcoming Johor state election will be a big issue for all political parties including those in Barisan Nasional, said Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

The Umno deputy president, who is the coalition’s election director, said the additional numbers would bring the state’s total voters to about 2.5 million, from 1.8 million in the 14th general election.
