PORT DICKSON, April 27 – PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man attributed the party’s defeat in the Ayer Kuning by-election to low voter turnout, dismissing claims that their focus on pig farms during campaigning had backfired.

The Star cited him speaking at PAS’ national Aidilfitri open house in Lukut, where he urged the Election Commission to do more to ensure higher voter turnout in future by-elections.

“We saw a very low turnout on Saturday and unfortunately, this does not reflect a true picture on the ground or the support we enjoyed,” he reportedly said.
