Parliamentary Seats (2008) - Federal Territories

The 2 hot seats to watch are the Kepong and Bukit Bintang parliamentary constituencies. The Opposition won both these seats in 2004 but with slim margins of 1,854 and 304 respectively.

Although the Opposition is expected to do better in 2008 and retain these seats it will still be tough fights. In Bukit Bintang, there will be a straight fight after MDP's Wee Cho Keong decided to contest in Wangsa Maju to prevent a 3-corner contest. This should be an advantage to the Opposition. However, the 6,000 postal voters in this constituency which tends to vote for the BN will be a big obstacle to the incumbent DAP candidate Fong Kui Lun.

If the Opposition can win the Wangsa Maju and Batu seats and retain the 4 seats it current holds, the Opposition can potentially get 6 seats parliamentary seats in Kuala Lumpur.
