PKR POLLS | In the third and final week of polling in Selangor, PKR deputy president contender Rafizi Ramli today conceded that the odds currently favour of his rival Mohamed Azmin Ali.
"I feel the odds in Selangor are 55/45, 55 in favour of Azmin.
"I expected to lose in Selangor," he told reporters outside the voting centre for PKR Pandan division. He is also up against three contenders for the post of division chief.
Rafizi said, however, that he did not expect to the margin in Selangor to be this close – by under 1,000 votes – given that Azmin has been the state PKR chief for 20 years, and was also the former menteri besar.
"What surprised me was the margin of the votes.
"Many in PKR felt that because Azmin has been the Selangor PKR chief since 1998, and he was also menteri besar, at the very least I was expected to lose by 5,000 votes," he said.
Citing support from other states outside Selangor, Rafizi also expressed confidence that he could regain his lead over Azmin when PKR divisions in Sabah and Sarawak go to the polls next weekend.
