KUALA LUMPUR - Leaders from Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional are expected to gather at Umno headquarters here about 8pm to witness the state election results across six states.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi and other party leaders will be gathering here in anticipation of the election results that ended after a two week of fierce campaigning.
Polls ended 6pm.
As of 4pm today, Election Commission said voter turnout has been relatively low with Terengganu recording a 70 percent turnout, followed by Kedah (68 per cent) and Penang (67 per cent).
The media who are full force here are on standby to report on the latest as announcements on emerging winners are announced.
Malaysians voted today to elect six state governments, after a two-week heated campaign filled with intense rhetoric from both sides, with each coalition hoping to woo support through manifestos and election pledges.
About 9.7 million voters were eligible to vote today at 245 state assembly seats across Selangor, Penang, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu.
