I had received a news about Permatang Pauh By-Election that had been won by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim with a bigger majority than his wife, who obtained a vote-majority of 13,388 at 82% voter turnout rate during 8 March 2008 General Election.
The Permatang Pauh by-election results are as follows:
- Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim: 31,195 votes (Majority: 15,671 votes)
- Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah: 15,524 votes
- Hanafi Hamat: 92 votes
Earlier, I have received a news saying that only 62.25% of 58,459 registered voters turned out in this by-election. Another words, only 38,144 voters cast their ballots. Based on the result above, what have confused me was that how can the total votes of the 3 candidates (31,195 + 15,524 + 92 = 46811) can be more than 38,144 ??? There must be something wrong somewhere. If were to base on the above results, the turnout rate should be more than 80%.
Well, no matter what, Anwar is still a big winner with the resouding majority. Congratulations!
