(May 2, 2023) Don't forget fringe parties in the election |
|

A total of 70 political parties with 4,781 candidates are contesting 400 MP seats, and 1,898 candidates from 67 political parties are vying for 100 list-MP seats in the general election on May 14.
Nearly all the political campaigns began in earnest months ago and intensified following the House dissolution on March 20. Apart from the five prominent plus smaller ones in the coalition and opposition, a raft of small parties -- some of which are almost unknown -- have not come under the radar of local media, academics and political pundits. Yet, under close scrutiny, some of their platforms are not far from the big league. Truth be told, quite of few of them appear very idealistic, progressive and radical, with some bordering on sci-fi with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI).
