Gerakan's victory in Teluk Intan is actually a victory for Umno, said Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

"Gerakan is inconsequential, and can claim that their president has won, but on their own, they are virtually ineffective," Anwar said when met at his daughter's wedding reception in Permatang Pauh.

"So it is basically Umno and (the) entire federal government versus Pakatan.”
