Melaka polls: Wan Rosdy warns BN machinery against complacency
MELAKA: Barisan Nasional election machinery for the Melaka polls must not become complacent or overconfident about voter support, as voting patterns can change at any time, Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said.
Barisan Nasional election machinery in Melaka must avoid complacency, warns Wan Rosdy, the Umno vice-president. He cautions that voting patterns can change rapidly, and past results do not guarantee future victory. Party workers should continue their efforts to connect with voters, rather than assuming BN candidates will win simply because of their party's strength or historical performance.
Wan Rosdy highlights a past example where BN secured many Melaka seats during the last general election but lost parliamentary seats shortly after, demonstrating the dynamic nature of voter preferences. Speaking at a Santai Anak Muda DUN Sungai Udang programme, he urges party machinery to make full use of the remaining campaign period, which is less than two weeks, by targeting voters who have not yet been identified.
He also warns party members not to become too comfortable, urging them to reach out to as many voters as possible in the constituency. With over 29,000 voters in Sungai Udang needing engagement, he emphasizes the importance of party supporters being motivated to vote on election day, November 14. He stresses that party machinery must work tirelessly, saying, "Do not sleep or become complacent. After November 14, then you can sleep."
