DM Paya Kemunting, Jitra, has a diverse population composition consisting of Malays, Indians, Chinese and Siamese Bumiputra. Therefore, it is very important to assess the reasons for the shift in voter support in the N.06 Jitra during GE 14 to PH/PPBM with a significant majority compared to maintaining the strong BN/UMNO stronghold in GE 12 and 13. The objective of this study is to assess the current level of satisfaction of young voters with the political climate of the country, which influences political socialization leading up to GE 15. The study also evaluates the preferences of young voters for political parties or candidates representing them in terms of politics, economics, social aspects, and others for their future. In this study, qualitative interview techniques were conducted with 10 respondents, obtaining perspectives from 5 community leaders and stakeholders in N.06 Jitra, alongside the collection of primary and secondary data. The findings of this study indicate that there is a variation in the views of young people towards the country's political system and they are increasingly willing to change if their desires and aspirations are not fulfilled. This study, aligned with rational choice theory, found that respondents respond to benefits and outcomes, considering offers and assessing whether these offers can benefit their future. The conclusion of this study proves the tendency to choose candidates and parties based on current issues, their trust in social media/the internet and the desire for leaders who are clean and capable of governing the country. The implications of this study are that voters, regardless of age or ethnicity, need to be empowered with knowledge, instilled with competitive, social, religious values to obtain benefits and good outcomes towards the enhancement of excellent human capital. 2024 Thesis https://etd.uum.edu.my/11251/ https://etd.uum.edu.my/11251/1/permission%20to%20deposit-embargo%2012%20months-s828197.pdf text eng 2025-06-23 staffonly https://etd.uum.edu.my/11251/2/s828197_01.pdf text eng 2025-06-23 staffonly https://etd.uum.edu.my/11251/3/s828197_02.pdf text eng staffonly other masters Universiti Utara Malaysia
