The opposition Barisan Nasional defeated the ruling Pakatan Harapan in a by-election in Johor, wrestling the parliamentary seat with a 15,000 majority.

The BN rep Wee Jeck Seng registered a whopping 25,466 votes to the PH’s candidate Karmaine Sardini’s 10,380 votes. PH won the seat last year but the incumbent MP succumbed to a heart attack last month.
