In 1999 General Elections - he won by a majority of 241
Then the number of voters increased substantially, and Najib have been continued winning with bigger majorities.
In 2004, he won by a majority of 22,922
In 2008, he wins by a majority of 26,464
Even, when the general tide was against BN - Mohd Najib Razak increased his majority...
Well, when results all over the country in GE2008 saw an increase in votes for the opposition and a decrease of votes for the BN candidate - Mohd Najib Abdul Razak saw an increase. Either, the constituents really liked this man OR...
GE2008:
P85 - PEKAN Turnout : 47869 (82.2%) Spoilt: 1261 Voters: 58217 * Mohd Najib Abdul Razak (BN - UMNO) 36262 Maj: 26464 Khairul Anuar Ahmad Zainudin (OPP - PKR) 9798
GE2004
Mohd Najib Abdul Razak (BN - UMNO) 31956 Maj: 22922 Zakaria Dahlan (OPP - PAS) 9034
General Elections 1999 12907 13148 Total Votes cast % Votes cast Spoilt Votes Majority Votes 26055 73.2 631 241
Now, Najib, the 'Grandmaster of Elections' sits perched comfortably as the next President of UMNO in March 2009 - and as such the head of the BN....and maybe the next Prime Minister of the country...and as such will this factor ensure a BN victory in KT, remembering that in GE2008 the BN won this seat.
I say, maybe the next Prime Minister...because it is never automatic - it depends on who has the most support among the MPs when there is a vacancy after Abdullah Ahmad Badawi resigns (that is, if he resigns....).
