KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 — Previous electoral trends show Pakatan Harapan could seize three federal constituencies in Johor, DAP’s Lim Kit Siang claimed today

The Gelang Patah MP said the voting patterns since 2004 indicate that Johor Baru and at least two more parliamentary constituencies are likely to be won by the federal opposition pact.

The three seats — Pasir Gudang, Tebrau and Johor Baru — were retained by Barisan Nasional with gradually decreasing majorities, he said.

"If this trend continues, then Umno/BN will lose two if not all three parliamentary constituencies in Johor Baru.

"This means that Umno/BN (is) likely to lose Johor Baru as the sole state capital won by Umno/BN candidates in the forthcoming 14GE, whether this year or next,” he said in a statement.

Lim also said that he would like see a DAP representative contest in the PKR seats, but added that this would only be with the agreement of the PH leadership.
