N9 polls: Loke says Chennah crucial to PH's bid to retain state government

JELEBU -The Chennah state seat is among the four most crucial constituencies in the Jelebu parliamentary constituency for Pakatan Harapan (PH) in its bid to retain the Negeri Sembilan government in the upcoming state election, incumbent Anthony Loke said.

Loke, who is also the Transport Minister, said that although the contest is a straight fight, PH is confident of retaining the seat based on its track record of service and development over two terms in government.

"The PH government, which has been in power since 2018, has proven that we are capable of delivering progress and stability to the state.

"We hope to receive the people's mandate to form the state government again, and the seats in the Jelebu parliamentary constituency are crucial because in 2018, two state seats here - Chennah and Kelawang - contributed to the formation of the state government,” he told reporters after the nomination process at Dewan Besar Kuala Klawang here today.

Earlier, Jelebu Parliamentary returning officer Abdul Rahim A Aziz announced that the Chennah state seat would witness a straight fight between Loke and Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Siow Kong Choon. - BERNAMA
