PH should target winning 120 parliament seats in GE14 – 100 in Peninsular Malaysia and 20 in Sabah and Sarawak

112 parliament seats are needed in order to win a bare majority control of parliament.

PH should set a target of winning 120 parliament seats to show that a decisive majority of Malaysians no longer support a kleptocratic and corrupt Barisan Nasional (BN).

Is this target achievable?

Yes, I think it is. Especially if there is a Malaysian tsunami that will sweep across the nation bringing together Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans and others to vote against the BN and to strongly support Pakatan Harapan to form the next federal government.

In order to achieve this, PH must defend all 89 parliament seats won by the opposition in GE2013.

In addition, we must win another 31 out of the 56 marginal BN parliament seats in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak to reach 120 seats. This includes 4 key BN seats which were not considered marginal in GE2013 but are being contested by PH and opposition heavy weights namely Langkawi (Tun Dr. Mahathir), Pagoh (Tan Sri Muhyiddin), Semporna (Shafie Apdal – Warisan) and Ayer Hitam (Liew Chin Tong).

This means PH must win 55% of the marginal BN parliament seats (listed below).

PH should aim to win 100 parliament seats in Peninsular Malaysia and another 20 parliament seats in Sabah and Sarawak. (This would include parliaments seats won by Warisan in Sabah) List of 52 Marginal BN Parliament Seats (Based on GE2013 results)
