PASIR PUTEH: The support from voters in six states for Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates is increasing, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
However, the BN chairman said he wanted all election machinery from Barisan and PH working on the ground to refrain from being complacent and be alert for anything.
"I may be a bit biased, (but) there is a significant wind of change blowing in favour of the candidates of the unity government or the Madani government.
"I am satisfied with the hard work performed by our machineries. But in this final round of campaigning, surely our political opponents will continue to push,” he told a press conference after attending a "Leaders with the Community" programme at Tok Bali fishermen's settlement here Wednesday (Aug 9).
Also present were Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, Pasir Puteh Umno chief Datuk Zawawi Othman and BN candidate for the Semerak state constituency Marshella Ali.
The Umno president also urged the BN machinery and supporters to play a role in attracting everyone's support to help BN-PH to victory in the Aug 12 state elections.
"Don't be satisfied with only the support of our voters, this is the most appropriate time to invite friends who don't have a party to support our candidates.
"In Kelantan, in particular, there are several pledges offered by the unity government if it wins the election and forms the state government," he said.
Ahmad Zahid said he saw support for the unity government candidates also increasing in the PAS-led state.
"The momentum is in our favor, I participated in the Madani Tour in Kota Baru, Tanah Merah and Jeli. I have never seen such an encouraging response.
"However, we also hope that Kelantan voters will give the BN and PH candidates a chance this time to prove that we can do better than the current state government," he added. - Bernama
