Parliamentary Seats (2008) - Perlis

The Arau parliamentary seat was won by the BN candidate in the 2004 elections with a majority of only 10% of voter turnout agaist Haron Din or PAS.

In 2008, the internal turmoil in UMNO in Perlis will work in favour of the opposition. It is highly likely that PAS will win the Arau seat this time around.

The other 2 parliamentary seats which will be defended by incumbents Azmi Khalid and Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad should be relatively safe seats for UMNO. However, their majorities will most probably be reduced due to the dissatisfaction of some Perlis UMNO members.
