GE15: Social media tests maturity of young voters

KUALA LUMPUR: The official campaigning for the 15th General Election (GE15) will only kick off on Nov 5 but political parties are already making their presence felt on social media, aiming their pitches at netizens who have yet to decide which "camp” to support.

In the run-up to GE14, Facebook was the main battleground for many digitally-savvy candidates but this time, TikTok is emerging as their numero uno social media platform to win over the hearts and minds of voters, especially youths.
