The former press secretary to the Minister of Housing and Local Government said this after being announced as the winner in the four-cornered contest of the said by-election at the Hulu Selangor District Multipurpose Hall and Sports Complex here tonight.
Returning officer Yuhanas Auree Kamaruddin announced that Pang who contested on the Pakatan Harapan (PH) ticket, won with a majority of 3,869 votes, defeating her three challengers Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Nyau Ke Xin (Independent) and Hafizah Zainuddin (Parti Rakyat Malaysia).
