SEMENYIH POLLS | More than half of the respondents agree that Najib's 'Bossku' campaign had a positive impact for BN.
Think-tank Ilham Centre has predicted that BN will recapture the Semenyih state seat in tomorrow's by-election.Ilham Centre said the only way for Pakatan Harapan to retain the seat is if the"magic formula" - the same level of support and high turnout - seen during the last general election could be maintained.
"All efforts by Aiman appear ineffective and attention is on the BN Zakaria Hanafi. maturity as a candidate is used as a yardstick by voters," it said. "As an opposition, BN's focal point was Harapan's failure to fulfil its promises. Race and religious issues also completed BN's recipe to restore Malay support which was lost during the last general election," it added.
On PAS, Ilham Center said although the party was not as committed in criticising Harapan, unlike during the Cameron Highlands by-election campaign, some 84 percent of respondents who identified themselves as PAS supporters have pledged to vote BN.
