Bukit Gantang by-election

BN's Ismail Saffian said it has been a tough contest but that he is confident of winning by a thin majority of between 1,000 to 3,000 votes. He said his victory would be an endorsement of Najib Abdul Razak's premiership.

"But it's going to be a tough fight. I'll leave it to the voters," he said, adding that he only slept at 3am after attending 10 ceramah sessions at the last minute and was up by 6am.
