ALOR SETAR: The Perikatan Nasional “green tsunami”, which swept everything in its path in Kedah by winning 13 out of the 14 parliamentary seats in the 15th General Election (GE15), has continued to grip voters in Padang Serai.

Although the victory will not have any bearing at the federal or state level, it is still a big showing for Perikatan, which is now the Opposition, after its candidate clinched a thumping majority of 16,260 votes.
