Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari is confident that the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance can win a two-thirds majority and go on to form the state government after the polls on Aug 12.
He said PH-BN could win at least 38 to 40 seats from the total of 56, with BN seen as capable of winning more than six constituencies.
He said this after PH held a ceramah in Taman Sekinchan Damai, Sekinchan, last night.
Before the state assembly dissolution, PH held 40 seats (PKR-19, DAP-15, Amanah-six), BN five, Bersatu four, and Parti Bangsa Malaysia two, while PAS, Pejuang and Warisan had one seat each. The other seat was held by an independent assemblyman while the last state seat of Batang Kali was declared vacant after its assemblyman was absent from the state assembly for over six months.
State elections for Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Terengganu and Kelantan, as well as the by-election for Kuala Terengganu, will be held on Aug 12.
