During Dr M's first reign, the ruling coalition he led would average 54.37pct during parliamentary by-elections.

This article does not take by-elections for state assemblies or the Federal Legislative Council into consideration.

Since 1959, a coalition ruling the federal government has averaged a 56.25 percent vote share in 61 by-elections which it participated in. In the case of Tanjung Piai, the vote share by Pakatan Harapan was way below average at a mere 26.4 percent. However, it should be noted that in 1988, BN was facing internal strife after Umno was dissolved and was also facing the political backlash for Operasi Lalang.
