00:00Bersatu's focus on negative campaigning against UMNO and its candidate showed that

00:06it had run out of ideas for the Makota by-elections.

00:09This is what political analysts told FMT after Barca Nacional's Said Hussein Saeed Abdullah

00:15won with a majority of 20,648 votes last night, while Bersatu's Haizan Jafar garnered only

00:227,614 votes.

00:25Analyst Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid said Bersatu's focus on negative attacks was evidently not

00:30appealing to the electorate.

00:32He also said Perikatan Nasional, particularly Bersatu, did not offer Makota voters anything

00:38substantial during the campaign.

00:41Among the negative attacks was a claim that Said Hussein had a criminal record and an

00:45attempt to link UMNO leader Puad Zakashi to a possible spread of communism.

00:50Analyst Azrul Hadi Abdullah Sani said Bersatu was resorting to recycling UMNO's playbook

00:55from the 90s by disparaging the character of its rivals.

00:59He said the party must offer more to the voters than just religious and race-baiting rhetoric.
