BN's chances of winning Melaka polls looking strong, says Ab Rauf
MASJID TANAH: Barisan Nasional has a strong chance of winning the Melaka election, Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh said.
Barisan Nasional (BN) remains optimistic about winning the upcoming Melaka election, according to Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh, the BN chairman for the region. Speaking to reporters after a campaign rally, Dr Ab Rauf expressed confidence in the coalition's prospects with just 48 hours left before polling day on Saturday. He attributed this confidence to current political developments, suggesting that the issues emerging could bolster public trust in BN and help secure another mandate to govern Melaka.
Dr Ab Rauf highlighted the political confusion in Putrajaya as a potential factor influencing voters' decision to support Barisan Nasional. Despite these challenges, he asserted that the public is more inclined to place their confidence in the coalition to lead Melaka. When asked about the possibility of BN winning more than 21 seats, Dr Ab Rauf stated that the outcome would become clearer after the polls. "Let's wait and see," he said.
As a candidate for the Tanjung Bidara seat, Dr Ab Rauf also noted the positive response from the local community to the coalition's campaign efforts. He expressed satisfaction with the preparation of the Bidara Palma polling district centre, emphasizing the collective effort to ensure the party's return as the state assemblyman for Tanjung Bidara. In the 2021 state election, BN secured 21 out of 28 contested seats, achieving a two-thirds majority and forming the state government.
