Klawang BN polling centre closed in protest after seat ceded to PN, says Jalaluddin

 The state Umno chief says certain quarters are unhappy with the BN-PN electoral arrangement but he expects the centres to resume operations soon.

Negeri Sembilan Umno chief Jalaluddin Alias acknowledged the disappointment among Umno-BN supporters in Klawang following the coalition’s decision not to contest the state seat.

JELEBU:

Negeri Sembilan Umno chief Jalaluddin Alias expressed disappointment after several Barisan Nasional polling district centres in Klawang closed in protest against the decision to give the seat to a Perikatan Nasional candidate.

Jalaluddin said the closures might stem from those involved “not understanding” the arrangement between BN and PN for the state election.

“Perhaps within the next day or two, things will improve, and the centres will resume operations.“They will come around, God willing,” he told reporters at Felda Pasoh 4.

Jalaluddin said Negeri Sembilan Umno would mobilise its machinery to ensure Umno members and supporters vote for PN.

“This is an understanding that we have reached so that the outcome on Aug 1 will not disappoint the people,” he said.

Klawang is set to see a three-cornered contest involving Pakatan Harapan’s Bakri Sawir, PN’s Danni Rais, and Bersatu candidate Adib Musa. - FMT
