PETALING JAYA: DAP leaders are warning the party’s grassroots that a “green wave” may dislodge PH in Selangor if voter turnout falls sharply below the 79% figure recorded in the state at GE15.
They say that with an addition of 2.97 million new voters in the state, the racial composition has changed, with 37 of the 56 seats up for grabs now showing a Malay-majority. Of the remaining seats, 13 are Chinese-majority constituencies while the remaining six are mixed seats.
Party insiders said leaders are worried rapid changes in the racial demographics would make it near impossible to reverse a defeat to PN in future elections.
