Unopposed: BN wins 9 seats, PAS 1

Barisan Nasional (BN) won seven of the 222 parliamentary and two of the 505 state seats unopposed when nominations closed today.
Meanwhile, the opposition won one through PAS' woman candidate Wan Ubaidah Omar who secured the Kijang state seat in Kelantan when the BN candidate Mustopha Ahmed was disqualified for having been declared a bankrupt.
This is a crucial bonus for PAS as it controlled 23 seats to BN's 22 in Kelantan before the dissolution of the state assembly, thus making every contest counts in the battle for the state.
In the 2004 general election, BN won 17 parliamentary and 11 state seats unopposed while PAS had took the Senggarang state constituency in Johor.
With this development, there are now 215 parliamentary and 502 state seats up for grabs on polling day on March 8.
The parliamentary seats won by BN are Sarawak’s Selangau, Kapit, Kanowit and Tanjung Manis, Sabah's Kalabakan and Pensiangan and Pengerang in Johor.
The victorious candidates are Joseph Entulu Belaun (Selangau), Alexander Nanta Linggi (Kapit), Aaron Ago Dagang (Kanowit), Norah Tun Rahman (Tanjung Manis), Abdul Ghafur Salleh (Kalabakan), Joseph Kurup (Pensiangan) and Youth and Sports Minister Azalina Othman Said (Pengerang).
This is second time lucky for Azalina and Abdul Ghafur, who both won their respective seats unopposed in 2004.
The state seats won unopposed by BN are Bugaya in Sabah (Ramli Marahaban) and Sementa in Selangor (Abdul Rahman Palil).
Three-way battles
Meanwhile, the elections will also be witnessing a series of three-cornered fights. Among the more prominent ones, there will be a three-way battle in Sungai Siput between MIC president S Samy Vellu, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) candidate Dr D Jeyakumar and independent Nor Rizan Oon.
The emergence of Billi Lim Peng Soon turned Kelana Jaya (P104) into a three-cornered battle. Along with the author and motivational speaker are PKR newcomer Loh Gwo-Burne and MCA incumbent Lee Hwa Beng.
Blogger-turned-politician Jeff Ooi will be getting his baptism of fire at Jelutong (P50). Besides Gerakan's Dr Thor Teong Gee, Ooi will face independent Badrul Zaman.
Among the other three-corner fights, the most surprising turns out to be Kuala Terengganu. Besides Umno incumbent Razali Ismail and PAS' Mat Sabu, an 89-year-old independent joins in the race.
Maimun Yusuf, a grandmother of seven, tried to contest four times previously but was rejected due to technicalities. She told the press that she aims to "right the wrongs and bring down the price of essentials".
Besides the common three-way battles, Sabah will also be seeing ten seats being fought by four persons or more. Among them are Kota Kinabalu, Kimanis, Penampang (P174) and Beluran.
