Pulai polls: Involvement of Johor MB, former MBs gives Pakatan-Barisan an advantage

JOHOR BAHRU: he involvement of the Johor Menteri Besar and two former MBs in the Barisan Nasional machinery is seen as having a significant influence in ensuring the victory of Pakatan Harapan candidates in the upcoming by-elections for the Pulai parliamentary constituency and the Simpang Jeram state seat.

Although it is said that a small faction of BN grassroots may have been disheartened by the selection of the Pakatan candidates to contes both seats, the strong charisma of Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad as leaders in the state is believed to be capable of addressing this concern.
