DAP’s Tony Pua, who contested under a PKR ticket won 121,283 votes compared with Barisan Nasional’s Ho Kwok Xheng, who received only 14,380 votes.

Another candidate, Wong Mun Kheng (PRM) got 617 votes.

The Damansara parliamentary seat is also the seat with the most number of registered voters, at 146,322 after the re-delineation exercise of the constituencies was approved by the Dewan Rakyat last March.

GE14, which was dubbed the most intense general election contested in the history of Malaysia, would also be remembered by all Malaysians as when Dr Mahathir Mohamad was returned as prime minister for the second time.

He had previously served as the fourth prime minister for 22 years from 1981 to 2003. Mahathir, 92, won in the Langkawi parliamentary seat and has now become the oldest MP in the country ever.

On the other end of the scale, independent candidate, 22-year-old law student P Prabakaran, is now the youngest MP. Prabakaran defeated three other challengers to win the Batu parliamentary seat by grabbing 38,125 votes.
