BN wins with larger majority

Malaysiakini

After 12 days of campaigning, the Kuala Besut by-election campaign has come to a close.

Although the results were only announced at about 10.20pm, both parties seemed to know early on that BN had won.

Below are our earlier “LIVE” reports on the results based on unofficial tallying by both parties.

LIVE REPORT

10.35pm: QUICK ANALYSIS – As it turns out, the result saw pretty much status quo in terms of BN’s majority.

BN, which its usual style of development-themed campaigning, once again triumphed, while PAS opted for a couple of new strategies.

KUALA BESUT Voters have been sighted queuing up for money outside the houses of at least two village chiefs in Kuala Besut today, supposedly for their travel allowance.

They were spotted at the Kampung Lay Out village chief’s residence in the Tok Saboh polling district and at the residence of the chief of another village nearby.

Malaysiakini is withholding the name of the second village pending a formal response from someone in authority.

According to several voters met by Malaysiakini near the SK Kampung Nangka polling centre and outside of the village chief’s house – most of whom refused to be named – the money is for voters from outstation returning to vote.

The sum ranges from RM50 for those returning from Kota Baru to RM200 for those returning from Kuala Lumpur.

However, when asked to confirm this, a man identifying himself as Kampung Lay Out village chief ‘Rajees’ replied, “I am the millionaire here. I can give my money to anyone I like.”

Asked why the disbursement coincided with the polling day for the Kuala Besut by-election, Rajees said the money was for duit raya.

He said the forms being submitted by voters to claim the allowance was for auditing purposes.
