Surprise entries could impact win

HULU SELANGOR: Although the focus of the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election is still the battle between Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional, the surprise entry of two candidates could still impact which coalition will ultimately triumph, says an analyst.

This is because, as some observers have argued, the winning majority could be slim and the two other candidates could potentially steal votes that would have otherwise gone to either coalition.
