Left to Right - BN P.Kamalanathan, PR Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, Independant Johan Md Diah & V.S. Chandran (Pictures by The Malaysian Insider)
This is going to be one interesting by election so far. Well, reason is that one thing in common they are and used to be in BN. From the way I look at it is that, it’s a handicap match between 3 BN candidates (despite the 2 independent) vs 1 PR candidate. Why I say so is that, for the past few weeks BN had problems choosing a candidate for their own whereby they were not sure who will get the seat.
Anyway, from the looks of things I have a feeling that Mr.Johan is there being fielded by UMNO as a sort of safe deposit. If he were to win, I doubt that he’ll be independent. As for V.S. Chandran, it could have been Samy’s idea to put in there as a sign of unhappiness since Palanivel was not being nominated. Hehe. But I’m more interested in what will both of this independent will say during their “ceramah”, as both of them are ex-BN people. Oh well, we shall see on election day that falls on the 25th April which is next week.
My prediction? Well, I think Zaid Ibrahim will win probably with a majority of 5-7000. Because of the split which I believe between Kamalanathan & Johan. So let us see if my prediction will be correct or not, since it’s going to be a Sunday during polling day. Hehe.
