Penanti is not Perak

So it's confirmed that Barisan Nasional will not contest in Penanti. It will be likely a contest between PKR and Independent candidate.

Will Barisan Nasional officially throw their support on the Independent candidate?

I think PKR will win but with reducing majority. After all, Penanti is a PAS stronghold and they have an issue on Penang PAS Youth want to contest in that seat. Nik Aziz had interfered in that case emphasizing that Muslim should not take back what they had give. Penanti is given to PKR and it is the right of PKR to contest in that seat again according to agreement between Pakatan Rakyat coalition.

Actually it will be more fun when Pakatan Rakyat will fight against an unknown enemy. You don't realize the strength of your enemy and Pakatan will know it when Election Commision declaring the results at the night of 31st May 2009.

How the polarity of the voters in the Penanti and how they vote will be a major topic discussions. How Barisan Nasional supporters give their votes to an independet candidate? Is Perak fiasco affected the Penanti by-election?

One thing for sure, Penanti is not Perak.
