UNOFFICIAL: MCA veep fends off PKR, Bersatu in Kelebang

Pakatan Harapan's Farzana Hayani Nasir, Bersatu's Ali Mohamad, and Bersama's Young Jie Yu are all vying for the Kelebang assemblyman seat held by MCA vice-president Lim Ban Hong. According to early unofficial results, Lim is set to retain his position as the seat remains firmly in Barisan Nasional's control. Kelebang, a mixed constituency with 66.9% Malay, 28.6% Chinese, and 2.3% Indian voters, has been under MCA's control since its establishment in 2004.

Lim first won the seat in 2013, but it was wrested from him by Pakatan Harapan in 2018. However, Lim rebounded in 2021, securing his third term with a 876-vote majority over his PKR opponent.
