# UNOFFICIAL: PN’s Dominic Lau Loses Bid To Secure Bayan Lepas

Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate and Gerakan president Dominic Lau has been defeated by PH's Azrul Mahathir Aziz in the two-cornered fight for the Bayan Lepas seat.

[Guang Ming Daily](https://guangming.com.my/%E5%8A%89%E8%8F%AF%E6%89%8D%E8%BC%B8%E4%BA%86%EF%BC%81?fbclid=IwAR1OrwPz5u8uu0Gj_ecuatPMpbls8xgLAY0xMmFAkFQANm5N9QqaiVGAxlk) reported that Lau had 13,626 votes, while Azrul had 15,410 votes, giving him the win with a 1,784 majority.

The loss also meant that Lau lost the [RM5,000 deposit](https://www.sinchew.com.my/20180424/%E5%A4%A7%E9%80%89%E4%BA%8C%E4%B8%89%E4%BA%8B%E2%80%A7%E6%8C%89%E6%9F%9C%E9%87%91/) he placed to be part of the contest.

Lau's decision to be a candidate in the Malay-dominated seat has courted much controversy and backlash from certain PN quarters, who believed that a Malay candidate should be fielded instead.
