PSM inches forward, PN hogwash a dud
The Madani coalition won the Ayer Kuning by-election on Saturday.
However, the coalition's joint vote share declined compared to 2022.
PSM - while losing its deposit - doubled its votes, seemingly buoyed by protest votes from disgruntled Harapan supporters.
As for PN, its attempt to rile up Malay voters by playing up pig farming did not gain traction.
