Johor polls: Anwar congratulates Barisan, acknowledges PKR’s defeat

PETALING JAYA: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has congratulated Barisan Nasional for their landslide win in the Johor polls.

“PKR concedes with the decision made by the people of Johor. My appreciation goes to the supporters and machinery of PKR and Pakatan Harapan who worked hard to move the campaign throughout this state election,” said Anwar.

“This decision is also an important reminder for political parties to regain their strength in the run-up to the next general election,” he added in a Facebook post on Sunday (March 13).

Pakatan Harapan won only 12 seats – 10 by DAP, one by PKR and one by Amanah – in the state election.
