Muda-PSM ‘progressive block’ draws blanks, again
The “progressive bloc” continued to display its weak support having also drawn blanks during the six state elections in 2023, when the two parties ventured without a pact with any major coalition. For Muda, this outcome marks a sharp reversal from the 2022 Johor election when the youth party, then allied with Pakatan Harapan, won one of the seven seats it contested through then secretary-general Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz’s victory in Puteri Wangsa. Amira defeated candidates from Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional, Pejuang and Parti Bangsa Malaysia by a 7,114-vote majority at the time. Amira, now the Muda president, opted not to defend Puteri Wangsa this time around, saying she was preparing to contest a parliamentary seat in the next general election (GE16). Muda’s founding president and sole MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, meanwhile, decided not to hit the campaign trail for his party following the Federal Court’s deferral of its decision in his corruption case. Muda sorely missed Syed Saddiq’s presence during the two weeks of campaigning, which would raise questions about the party’s continuity without the former youth and sports minister in the driver’s seat. Its secretary-general, Ainie Haziqah Shafii, lost in Simpang Jeram, while Amir Jack was defeated in Maharani, Rashifa Aljunied in Puteri Wangsa, and M Premanand in Bukit Batu. Similarly, PSM’s Amir Syafiq Ameer Soekre failed to mount much of a challenge in Skudai. The outcome of the Johor polls will undoubtedly force Muda-PSM to rethink its election strategies, possibly placing more urgency on reaching electoral pacts with grand coalitions for other upcoming elections, including GE16.
