Pakatan takes strong lead in Pulai, ahead in Simpang Jeram
PULAI, Sept 9 — Pakatan Harapan has surged into a commanding lead for the Pulai by-election, bucking expectations that the ruling coalition would struggle due to the low turnout today.
According to the unofficial vote count, PH has secured 23,215 ballots with nearly half the tallying done, versus 13,215 for Perikatan Nasional.
In Simpang Jeram, PH has secured 5,776 votes to put it 1,371 ahead of PN.
Both independent candidates in the by-elections are set to lose their deposits.
