PN 'swing' subsiding, data shows fierce competition in Kedah, Kelantan

PUTRAJAYA - Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) claims the 'swing' Perikatan Nasional (PN) received in the 15th general election (GE15) has begun to subside at a significant rate.

Its deputy president Rafizi Ramli said the pattern change was based on research done since June, whereby the data would be revealed soon leading up to the state polls.

He said the data showed the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration in three states which were Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Penang were at a comfortable level.

"The data that has been collected has shown that PN's influence is subsiding, based on the numbers , PN would not have much credibility if they are claiming that they are almost taking over the Selangor, Negeri Sembilan or Penang government.

"Currently data such as this is no different than the decisions made in the previous elections," he told reporters after the Economy Minister Meeting here on Tuesday.

The Pandan MP elaborated that based on the data a heated competitionis expected to happen in the two opposition states which were Kedah and Kelantan.

"That's why I remember some allegations made by PN was to convince themselves that the situation that was heated would not be in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan or Penang, but in Kedah and Kelantan," Rafizi added.

Awani previously reported Rafizi would reveal the data to prove PH was gaining more support compared to PN.

He said the data he would reveal would also prove the claims made by PN were baseless.

From the six states to hold elections, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Penang are under PH's administration while Kelantan Terengganu and Kedah are opposition states.

The Election Commission (EC) is expected to announce the election dates in the six states after a special meeting tomorrow. - Awani
