PAKATAN Harapan’s (PH) win in the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election is proof of the spirit of togetherness of unity government component parties, said Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Umno president said that although the UMDAP (Umno-DAP) issue was played up by certain parties in this by-election, the bond between Barisan Nasional (BN), PH and the component parties remained intact as the backbone of the government.

“And this pillar must be strengthened, I have stated that DAP leadership helped BN candidates a lot in the by-elections in the past and this is the first time a DAP candidate contested in the by-election, and it would not be wrong if we repay the favour they have shown.

“Today’s success is proof that if we have great resilience no matter what is thrown at us by our political opponents, we will remain strong, remain intact to defend this unity government,” he told reporters soon after the results were announced.

Pang Sock Tao, who contested on the Pakatan Harapan (PH) ticket representing the unity government won with a majority of 3,869 votes, defeating her three challengers Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Nyau Ke Xin (independent) and Hafizah Zainuddin (Parti Rakyat Malaysia).

Pang obtained 14,000 votes while Khairul Azhari received 10,131 votes, Nyau (188 votes) and Hafizah (152 votes). – May 12, 2024.
