KINABATANGAN: Barisan Nasional (BN) has claimed an unofficial victory in both the Kinabatangan parliamentary constituency and the Lamag state assembly seat.
Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said Mohd Kurniawan Naim Moktar won the Kinabatangan seat with a majority of 12,426 votes, following the counting of 111 out of 119 polling streams.
Meanwhile, BN‘s Mohd Ismail Ayob also secured an unofficial victory in the Lamag State Assembly seat, with a majority of 3,689 votes after 21 out of 32 polling streams had been tallied.
Both seats became vacant following the death of Datuk Seri Bung Moktar on Dec 5 last year.
Earlier, Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhammad Akmal Saleh said that BN had retained both seats in today’s by-election.
“Alhamdulillah, Kinabatangan and Lamag remain with BN. Thank you all,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
Both seats fell vacant following the death of Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin on Dec 5 last year.
