Now Hulu Selangor will be the talk of the town. It is a field test whether PR can retain the seat under which all the three state seats are under BN. The result of the last GE in 2008:
N 5 Hulu Bernam 15,549 voters BN 3549 majority
N 6 Kuala Kubu Baru 18,212 voters BN 448 majority
N7 Batang Kali 27,832 voters BN 2179 majority
Hulu Selangor has 63,593 registered voters during the 12th General Election in 2008 and out of which 47,845 voters cast their votes giving PKR a slim198 majority.
Who will be nominated to be the next MP for this constituency. Already the tussle has begun. On the BN side, MIC and UMNO eye the seat. Former MB Tan Sri Muhammad Mohd Taib from UMNO and G. Palinivel were seen as ppssible candidate. PKR Indian leaders too are in favour of an Indian candidate as mentioned by R. Sivarasa.
Malays constitute 53.9% , Chinese 26.7% ,Indians 19% and 0.41% others.
What will be the highlight in this coming buy election is I am sure all the frogs from Perak and Penang will be croaking in Hulu Selangor during the campaign.
