PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim congratulated Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates Suhaizan Kaiat and Nazri Abdul Rahman for winning the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state seats for the coalition in yesterday’s by-elections.

Anwar, who is also PH chairman, expressed his appreciation for all voters who supported the efforts of the unity government in developing the country.

“This decision is a positive development for the unity government in ensuring its people’s development and economic agenda can continue to be successfully carried out,” he said in a post on his Facebook page today.

He ended the congratulatory post with the hashtag #MalaysiaMadani.

Suhaizan, who has stood for election seven times, clinched his maiden win with a majority of 18,641 votes, making him the first MP representing the unity pact formed between PH and Barisan Nasional.

Nazri won in Simpang Jeram with a majority of 3,514 votes, defeating Dr Mohd Mazri Yahya of Perikatan Nasional and Independent candidate S. Jeganathan. – Bernama, September 10, 2023.
