CAMERON POLLS | The outcome of the Cameron Highlands by-election symbolises a rejection of DAP's ‘extreme’ brand of politics, said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
"DAP and Pakatan Harapan's defeat is a sign of the people's rejection towards the Harapan government's failure to fulfill their promises.
"It is also a sign that the people reject DAP's culture of extreme politics," Hadi said in a statement tonight.
BN candidate Ramli Mohd Nor beat Pakatan Harapan's M Manogaran with a 3,238-vote majority in today's by-election.
PAS had campaigned heavily for BN in Cameron Highlands, with Hadi saying it was wajib (obligatory) for Muslims to vote for BN.
Hadi said tonight that the victory was a positive development for co-operation among opposition parties.
Previously in the 14th general election (GE14), PAS and BN were on opposing sides.
BN won the Cameron Highlands seat on May 9 last year with a slim majority of 597 votes.
Tonight's results indicate that PAS supporters voted for BN this time around.
PAS bagged 3,587 votes in Cameron Highlands during GE14. -Mkini
