PUTRAJAYA: The Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-election results showed that voters were more focused on having a stable government over the discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) given to Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over his Yayasan Akalbudi corruption case.

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said this while adding that the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional cooperation also proved to be the winning formula for the unity government’s victory in the two by-elections held on Saturday (Sept 9).
