00:00An analyst believes that ABNO could boost its tally in the Selangor State Assembly after two

00:07elections if it works on the ground to change public perception. Shaza Shukri of International

00:13Islamic University Malaysia said the party faced an uphill climb to reclaim dominance in the state

00:19due to a fragmented political landscape and its poor showing in the 2023 state election.

00:24ABNO Supreme Council member Pouad Zakashi recently said that the party could lead Selangor despite its

00:30small seat tally, pointing to its leadership of the Pera and Pahan governments as examples.

00:36Pouad made the remark while taking a jab at former Selangor Muntibasar Kirtoyo,

00:41now with Bersatu, whom he blamed for ABNO's loss of power in the state.

00:46Another IIUM academic, Lao Jouwei, dismissed Pouad's remarks as rhetoric that ignored political

00:51realities. He said Pouad's claim failed to take into account that the Barca Nacional Pakatan Harpan

00:58state government in Pahang was the result of post-election bargaining as no single party had

01:03held a majority. Dhanush Rajar Reza, FMT.
