Two candidates, Dato Seri Diraja Dr. Zambry Abd Kadir Zambry and Dato Seri Ir’ Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, were compared vis-à-vis using AHP technique against seven sub criteria, such as charisma, humility, integrity, party, nation-building, people engagement, leadership and experience. AHP questionnaires were distributed in Ipon, state of Perak, Malaysia. There were 30 respondents selected randomly. According to the overall results, Dr. Zambry is projected to be the favored candidate for the post of Chief Minister of Perak in the forthcoming election with 59.57 per cent of winning votes over his counterparty Nizar. However, differences existed in voting between the three races representing population of Malaysians. Although Malays and Indians have shown the unanimous support to Dr. Zambry with the voting scores of 66.98 per cent and 69.55 per cent respectively, Chinese have given their preference to Nizar (60.12 per cent over Zambry).
