Zahid: PAS won because many BN voters didn’t turn up


PUTRAJAYA: The low turnout of Barisan Nasional voters led to the coalition’s loss in the Kemaman by-election, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Umno president said it was this and not an increase in support for PAS that contributed to Barisan’s defeat in the parliamentarry by-election in Terengganu last Saturday.
