SLIM POLLS | BN candidate Mohd Zaidi Aziz is confident that BN will win at all 13 district polling centres in the Slim state by-election, including the six centres that the coalition had lost in the 14th general election (GE14).
He said his confidence was based on factors like the teamwork between BN and PAS under the cooperative spirit of Muafakat Nasional, while other component parties in BN have also been working hard to win votes for the coalition.
“We have asked MCA and MIC to set a certain target of votes to win and if we can win that votes, insyaAllah (God willing), we will win the six centres,” he told reporters after a meet-and-greet session at Pekan Slim here today. Also present was Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.
The six district polling centres that BN lost in GE14 are Kampong Kuala Slim, Pekan Slim, Sungai Slim Utara, Pekan Lama, Ladang Kelapa Bali and Ladang Sungkai.
The Slim state by-election is seeing a three-cornered fight between BN’s Mohd Zaidi and two Independent candidates, S Santhasekaran, 44, and Amir Khusyairi Mohamad Tanusi, 38, who was nominated by Parti Pejuang Tanah Air, which is in the process of being registered.
A total of 23,094 voters are eligible to vote in the Slim by-election on Aug 29.
The Slim state seat has been left vacant following the death of its four-term assemblyperson Mohd Khusairi Abdul Talib, who died from a heart attack on July 15.
