In this talk, Duncan McCargo reflects on his experiences following the November 2022 election campaign in Malaysia, during which he met candidates, campaign workers and voters across four different states. What was at stake in the election? How did first time voters feel about the campaign? Why did the long-dominant UMNO do so badly – yet become a key player in the subsequent coalition?
