PUTRAJAYA, July 4 — Data from a study which revealed the people’s rising support for Pakatan Harapan will be released this month, said PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli.
Rafizi, who is also the Minister of Economy said data from the survey will fend off claims there is a wave of shifting votes to Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the coming six state elections.
The initial data of the survey conducted up to June showed support for PN is waning and there is stiff competition in Kedah and Kelantan.
The survey data also showed the Harapan government in three of six states facing election is in a comfortable situation, he told reporters after attending an Economy Minister with Ministry staff gathering earlier today.
PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on June 26 said the PN wave which began in the 15th general election will continue in the six state elections.
Election Commission (EC) secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak was reported as saying the EC has received the official dissolution notification from the State Legislative Assembly Speakers of Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor as well as Negeri Sembilan.
A special meeting will be held tomorrow to discuss the election date for the six states.
The three states under Harapan now are Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan, while Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu are administered by Perikatan Nasional (PN).
