LABUAN (Sept 7): Labuan’s Pakatan Harapan (PH) is able to increase its votes in the 15th General Election (GE15) compared to the two candidates supported by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) in the last two elections.

Sabah PKR State Leadership Council (MPN) secretary Simsudin Sidek said in the GE13 Labuan PKR candidate Tan Sri Ibrahim Menudin obtained more than 6,000 votes while in GE14, Warisan candidate Halim Datuk Haji Zaini who was supported by PH obtained more than 9,000 votes.

“Labuan PKR together with PH coalition partners such as DAP (and Amanah) have great hopes of further increasing their votes in GE15,” said Simsudin who is also Labuan PKR Branch chief.
