MELAKA, Nov 9 — The youth of today is an information technology-savvy generation capable of analysing political matters and this scenario gives Barisan Nasional (BN) an advantage in elections, said BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

In a Facebook post today, he said that being a thinking generation with deep interest in politics, they could also decide rationally based on facts.

"This generation is said to dislike joining any political party but is well versed with politics. They are an information technology generation with the ability to analyse politics well.

"This scenario will give BN the edge in the Melaka and Sarawak state elections, as well as the 15th general election later,” he said.

Early voting for the Melaka polls is on November 16 and polling is on November 20. — Bernama
