Penang has been a stronghold for Pakatan Harapan since 2008, with DAP holding the biggest share at 19 out of 40 seats in the state assembly. However, following the shake-up in DAP candidates and a recent high-profile exit from the party, can PH retain control of the state or could PN make inroads? We speak to Dr Azmil Tayeb of Universiti Sains Malaysia for his projections in Penang.
