Media Statement by Lim Guan Eng in Petaling Jaya on Tuesday, 27^th April 2010: 

Hulu Selangor by-election - A historic PR and DAP battle which will pave the way for our future development in the constituency 

I wish to express my highest appreciation to the 13 DAP branches and all our cadres in Hulu Selangor for their fantastic spirit and contribution during the Hulu Selangor by-election. It was a great and memorable fight, a historic PR and DAP battle which will pave the way for our future development in the constituency.

From the result, we have in fact won the Kuala Kubu Baru state seat and Batang Kali is most fightable. This will ensure two extra state seats to be won by PR and DAP in the next general election, to further strengthen the PR Selangor Government.

Therefore, although we are all disappointed that PR candidate, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim did not win, the future is clearly with the PR.

*Lim Guan Eng, Penang Chief Minister & DAP Secretary-General
