Battle for Sg Besar: Intense fight between BN, PN, Harapan
GE15 | Since the Sungai Besar parliamentary seat was created in 2004, the constituency had been an impenetrable fortress for BN.
This was up until the 2018 general election, when a political tsunami swept BN to its first-ever electoral defeat, losing many long-held parliamentary seats to Pakatan Harapan.
While BN still managed to garner a significant number of voters to close the gap with Harapan in Sungai Besar, its candidate Budiman Zohdi still lost to Bersatu's Muslimin Yahaya by a razor-thin majority of 714 votes.
