GE15 has been an election where the PM's position is being contested as furiously as the seats themselves. Among Pakatan Harapan supporters, a narrative has been '1 vote for a PH candidate is 1 vote for Anwar as PM'. Meanwhile, the internal split in UMNO between Zahid Hamidi and Ismail Sabri also presents a complex situation for BN's prime ministerial selection. We explore how this approach has been shaping the election for the 3 major coalitions.

Beyond GE15 - Challenges For The Next Government

Markets hate uncertainty and the outcome of the elections on who will form the government is still unknown. While most political pundits and equity analysts expected a hung parliament, the surprise was a possible PAS led PN government which may spook investors. This may bring into question what roles they may play in key ministries. There may also be possible changes in the Budget and may incorporate policies from its own PN Manifesto. Will the market find a PH coalition with the Borneo bloc more palatable? We speak to Pankaj C. Kumar, business commentator for some answers.
