Unofficial: BN claims landslide Johor election victory

JOHOR BAHRU, July 11 — Barisan Nasional (BN) has claimed an unofficial victory in 49 of the 56 seats contested in today’s Johor state election.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki shared the unofficial tally in a Facebook post at around 8pm, placing Pakatan Harapan (PH) at seven seats.

Of PH’s seven seats, DAP secured six while PKR won one.

Perikatan Nasional (PN) failed to secure any seats despite contesting across the state.

Newcomer Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) and youth-based Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) also failed to win any seats.

Asyraf had earlier posted unofficial results showing BN leading in 33 seats.

PH is expected to hold a press conference later tonight.
