PETALING JAYA – Selangor DAP will be deciding over the weekend if Charles Santiago gets a shot to defend his seat as Klang MP.
One of the more successful DAP MPs, Santiago has been widely regarded as a hands-on MP who has solved many of the constituency’s issues since he was elected in 2008.
He has since defended the seat of over 210,000 registered voters by increasing majorities.
In fact, 2008 saw Santiago break Barisan Nasional’s (BN) three-term hold on the constituency when he defeated MCA’s Ch’ng Toh Eng with a resounding 17,701 majority out of a turnout of 59,279.
In 2013, he defended his seat against Teh Kim Poo, with an increased majority of 24,685, while the last election in 2018 saw the incumbent take a whopping 78,773 majority over challengers Ching Eu Boon (BN), Khairul Shah Abdullah (PAS), and independent G. Puvananderan.
