We can grab 50 out of 56 seats in Selangor polls, says PH

Selangor Pakatan Harapan is confident it can retain control of the state in the upcoming polls.
PETALING JAYA:
The cooperation between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) will help these coalitions win 50 out of 56 seats in the upcoming Selangor state elections, said state PH election director Yahya Mat Sahri.

In a Sinar Harian report, Yahya said he was confident PH would do better in the state elections with the support of BN voters.

“We are confident of winning more seats, not only in urban but also in rural areas, especially in BN strongholds.”

He claimed a survey found that 50% of Malay voters in Selangor support PH, adding that PH was confident it will be able to retain control of the state.

Earlier today, Selangor Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Azmin Ali said the coalition can win 33 seats in Selangor.

At present, PH holds 40 of the 55 seats in the Selangor assembly through PKR (19), DAP (15) and Amanah (six).

The rest of the assembly is made up of representatives from Barisan Nasional (five), PN (five), Pejuang (two), PBM (two) and Warisan (one).

The Batang Kali state seat was declared vacant on Feb 16 after its assemblyman, Harumaini Omar of Pejuang, failed to attend the state assembly sitting for more than six months.

The state polls are expected to be held after July.
