IPOH, Perak - Pakatan Harapan leader Anwar Ibrahim has scored a comfortable win in the much-watched battle for the Tambun Parliament seat, marking a successful electoral debut from Perak.
Mr Anwar’s win likely cements Tambun as a PH stronghold that it has won for the second consecutive time. It also marks its first victory without Datuk Seri Faizal’s Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia , which left PH and is now leading PN. Tambun was the most populated constituency among Perak’s 24 seats contested on Saturday, with 160,558 registered voters. Saturday’s result also saw Umno candidate Aminuddin Hanafiah come in third in total votes cast, making it an outlier in a seat that it had held so comfortably for nearly three decades.He was previously the long-time incumbent for the Permatang Pauh seat in Penang – his home town – until his second imprisonment in 2015 on sodomy charges stripped him of his status as its MP.
