BN celebrates defeating Harapan in all but one polling district
- 5 years ago
Pakatan Harapan is defeated in all but one polling district in Rantau.
The only polling district Harapan managed to retain was Bandar Ekar, which has the highest proportion of Chinese voters (42.1 percent) and third highest proportion of Indian voters (35.4 percent) in Rantau.
Even so, Harapan's support in Bandar Ekar also saw a decline from 70.3 percent in the last general election (parliamentary level) to 60 percent in the by-election.
This was in contrast to Harapan picking up half of the 14 polling districts in the last general election at the parliamentary level.
BN swept 13 of the polling districts in the by-election including Pekan Sagga (63.7 percent Indians) and Linsum (48.3 percent Indians) which have the highest and second highest proportion of Indian voters in Rantau.
In Malay-majority areas, BN won by a landslide, including Kampung Bemban (91 percent Malays), Kampung Sega (86.1 percent Malays), Kampung Sendayan (80.3 percent Malays).
