Pakatan Rakyat looks set to capture the Sibu Parliamentary seat from BN. According to the latest unofficial tally, DAP has increased its lead to 3,944 votes. According to unofficial sources, the DAP has received 18,211 votes to BN’s 14,267, with 103 out of 110 ballot boxes counted. However, postal votes are still being counted. In addition, no results yet to come in from BN stronghold Kg Ilir Nangka. This is something PR has to be careful of as there are some 2,500 postal votes.
It appears that DAP has benefitted from a slight swing of Chinese voters. However, there is no change in Iban and Malay/Melanau vote. Indeed, BN could have won more votes from these two groups.
DPM Muhydeen Yassin has postponed a schedule press conference to tomorrow. This is an indication that BN has lost Sibu to PR.
It is very important that the voters in Sibu do not deliver another Parliamentary Seat to BN as it will get BN/Umno closer to it's 2/3 majority and it's long awaited takeover of Penang.
