Faktor Sokongan Pengundi Kaum Melayu kepada Perikatan Nasional dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15, 2022

Abstract

Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) ke-15, 2022 dilihat berlangsung dalam keadaan tergesa-gesa dan pertikaian orang ramai dan ahli politik terutamanya pihak pembangkang. Namun PRU tersebut tetap diadakan sehingga selesai tanpa sebarang insiden yang tidak diingini. Ramai pihak yang menjangkakan bahawa keputusan PRU-15 bakal menghasilkan tiadanya parti politik yang berjaya mendapat majoriti mudah namun BN dijangkakan akan mendapat jumlah kerusi Parlimen yang tertinggi. Namun keputusan PRU-15 menunjukkan bahawa PH mendapat jumlah kerusi Parlimen yang tertinggi, diikuti PN dan kemudiannya BN. PN berjaya mendapat sokongan daripada pengundi Melayu tertinggi, diikuti BN, PH dan yang terakhir GTA. Justeru, artikel ini membincangkan mengenai faktor sokongan pengundi etnik Melayu terhadap Perikatan Nasional (PN) dalam Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) ke-15, 2022. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif iaitu analisis kepada maklumat sekunder iaitu penulisan jurnal, bahan seminar dan buku akademik yang berkenaan. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa antara faktor sokongan pengundi Melayu terhadap PN adalah kepimpinan PN (PAS dan BERSATU) yang dilihat bersih dan lain-lain. Justeru, faktor sokongan tersebut perlu dijadikan iktibar seterusnya gerak kerja politik susulan bagi menawan sokongan pengundi Melayu yang secara keseluruhannya masih mendominasi politik pilihan raya di negara ini.

Abstract: The 15th General Election (PRU), 2022 is seen to take place in a state of haste and disputes between the public and politicians, especially the opposition. However, the general election was held until it was completed without any untoward incident. Many parties expected that the results of GE-15 would result in no political party winning a simple majority, but BN was expected to win the highest number of parliamentary seats. But the GE-15 results show that PH got the highest number of parliamentary seats, followed by PN and then BN. PN managed to get support from the highest number of Malay voters, followed by BN, PH and finally GTA. Therefore, this article discusses the factors of Malay ethnic voter support for the National Alliance (PN) in the 15th General Election (GE), 2022. This study uses a qualitative method which is reference to secondary data which is journal articles, conference/seminar papers and related scientific books. The results of the study found that among the factors supporting Malay voters towards PN are the leadership of PN (PAS and BERSATU) which is seen as clean, the experience and services of PN when governing the country during the era of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the influence of PN's social media (Tik Tok). Therefore, the factors of support need to be used as a guide for subsequent political action to capture the support of Malay voters who still dominate election politics in this country.
