PAS wins KT
KUALA TERENGGANU: PAS candidate Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut is the new Kuala Terengganu MP. He defeated Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Wan Farid Wan Salleh and independent candidate Azharuddin Mamat.
Close to 80% of the 80,229 registered voters cast their ballots yesterday.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the result was merely a setback and would not have any bearing on the national political landscape.
MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat thanked the Chinese voters for staying with the Barisan despite the overall unfavourable results.
With the results, Barisan now has 137 seats in the Dewan Rakyat while the Opposition holds 82. There are also three independent MPs.

seals: Has BN learned anything from this by-election? Or for them, it is just another election. If they learn, it is good but if they don't learn, it will be good too as that will make way for PR to Putrajaya soon.
