Sg Bakap polls will gauge Harapan-BN's true support, say analysts

The Sungai Bakap by-election will be a yardstick to gauge the level of support for the Pakatan Harapan-BN coalition government, an analyst said.

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) political science lecturer Zaharul Abdullah said this is because Perikatan Nasional seized the state seat from Harapan in the last state election after the latter had held it since 2008.
