As expected the umno najib bn gun started blasting on the results.
From The Malaysian Insider reports:
The Penanti Umno division chief today said the low voter turnout had proven the party was right in its decision not to contest today’s by-election dubbed by locals and party leaders alike as the most boring affair in the country’s modern electoral history.
Datuk Abdul Jalil Abdul Majid in an immediate reaction said the turnout, which stood at 46 per cent, half of what the percentage was in the March 8 polls, showed the people are tired with PKR’s antics of using by-elections as a tactic to conceal its internal problems.
What do we expect them to say, nothing good and only negative comments. The low turn out is expected but what matter most is the results. The overwhelming majority indicates that Pakatan Rakyat is still a force to be reckoned with.
Well, they can say what they want, we just have to wait for the results of the Manek Urai by election.
A record for the lowest voters turnout, 46.15%, around 7,100 voters. This is what umno najib wanted and he gets it. Even though he may knows that umno were calling voters not to vote, he will surely claim that people are fed up with this type of politicking by PKR.
PKR set to win, counting is underway and PKR is leading in all the stream. PKR expected to garner between 5,000 to 5,500 votes out of the 7,100 voters that had voted.
Final results will follow.
umno najib gang starting to put the foot inside their mouth.
Allegations by the opposition that the Barisan Nasional (BN) asked voters not to go out and vote in today’s by-election in the Penanti state constituency in Penang are just election gimmicks, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyddin Yassin
Yes, Mr. DPM, umno najib bn can do no wrong, only the oppositions were always wrong. Time will tell and the end result will show very clearly comes the 13th GE.
