BN can win Permatang Pasir state seat by taking advantage of the eroded Chinese votes for PAS in Permatang Pasir.
It is well known fact that the opposition coalition remains questionable. PAS wanted an Islamic state while DAP strongly opposed to any ideas of turning Malaysia into an Islamic State.
The by-election in Permatang Pasir is set to be a straight fight between arch-rivals PAS and Umno.
Additionally, Pakatan are struggling with his own internal struggle due to the lacking of internal communications and a coordination mechanism.
PAS is the minority in the Pakatan Rakyat Penang state government as Permatang Pasir is the sole PAS seat in Penang. It is one of three state seats in PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim's Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency.
DAP was under the spotlight for not accommodate Pas' interests in the Penang state government. The internal and intra-party differences in Pakatan Rakyat benefit BN and weaken the support for PAS.
Strategically, BN can win Permatang Pasir state seat by taking advantage of the divided Pakatan Rakyat but it has to run the campaign effectively to win the heart and mind of the voters.
The Election Commission fixed Aug 25 for the Permatang Pasir state seat by-election in Penang. Nominations will be on Aug 17, the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan as fasting is expected to begin on Aug 21.
Let's wait and see how the opposition solves their differences.
