Hasrat Umno kembali dominan bakal uji agihan kerusi BN-PN, kata penganalisis

Analysts predict Umno will regain dominant position among Malay voters in upcoming Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) polls for PRU16. Mazlan Ali from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) stated that Umno, as the key to BN's success, needs to secure more seats among Malay-majority constituencies to achieve this goal, but many areas are currently dominated by PAS and PN, which are expected to retain their seats won in PRU15.

Mazlan noted that this could lead to tension, especially in states like Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, and Perlis, where Umno has no seats and PAS holds a strong influence. Admitting that this may be difficult, Mazlan suggested that Umno must compete more in Malay-majority seats for a stronger position.
