“I don’t want to sound overconfident, but I believe looking into the trend now it will be a comfortable majority ... Beyond 10 is comfortable,” Anwar told Bloomberg.
Anwar was also confident of winning Perak and Negeri Sembilan, in addition to retaining Penang, Selangor, Kelantan and Kedah.
However, he has revised his prediction about Sabah after telling Bloomberg last month that the main battle for votes in Election 2013 will be in Sabah and Sarawak, which offer 56 of the 222 Parliament seats.
Umno-linked media outlets have in recent days alleged Anwar is responsible for orchestrating the armed incursion of Sulu Sultan’s supporters into the state.
The Malaysian Insider reported last month that sources said PR is confident of securing nearly 140 parliamentary seats in Election 2013, with wins in Sabah, Sarawak and Johor giving the pact a simple majority to form the government.
The PKR de facto leader also predicted that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will be one of the casualties of the 13th general election.
“For Najib, it’s very, very precarious because if he loses he’d be out, and if he wins with a narrow margin they’d force him out,” he said.
“He’d be removed either way.”
The ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident of winning at least 145 parliamentary seats in Election 2013, including recapturing several Umno seats lost in 2008, sources said.
The Malaysian Insider understands that BN’s projections are about 10 seats above surveys done by Malaysian intelligence agencies, which say the ruling coalition is only sure of 135 seats, five below the 140 won in Election 2008. BN now has 136 seats in the 222-seat Parliament.
