Small spelt big for the BN in the last polls

The BN formed  the government by winning most of the 130 parliamentary constituencies with the smallest number of voters.

According to lawyer Andrew Khoo, BN took 112 seats of these smallest constituencies thus obtaining a simple majority.

However, he said, the number of voters who chose BN in those 112 seats only made up close to 20 percent of the total votes cast in the 13th general electoral.

"Basically that is how BN won the election," the Bar Council Human Rights Committee co-chairperson said at a forum today.
