Kian Ming: DAP will either scrape through with paltry 1k votes or staring at defeat in KKB by-election

DAP Selangor treasurer Dr Ong Kian Ming has predicted a pessimistic outcome for the party at the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election, alluding to a very close fight “with a margin of less than 1,000 votes” if the incumbent party were to retain the state seat within the Hulu Selangor parliamentary constituency.
The paltry vote count estimate for the May 11 by-election casts a pale shadow from the 4,119 winning majority polled by the late Lee Kee Hiong in the 2023 state elections.
“The political environment does not favour PH (Pakatan Harapan) at the moment but with a well-coordinated campaign strategy and messaging, DAP may just pass this test by a small margin,” the former Bnagi MP pointed out in a media statement.
“Although I have argued in my podcast that DAP is not in danger of turning into an MCA 2.0 anytime soon, the general sentiment among non-Malay voters seems to be moving towards this direction.”
