KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — The victory of the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in the Nenggiri by-election yesterday proves the Kelantan people accept the Unity Government, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He called the win a reflection of the public’s increasing alignment with the wave of change under the Madani Government, in line with recent signs of growing economic progress.
“God willing, this victory will be a morale boost for the Madani Government to continue safeguarding the people’s welfare and elevating the nation’s prosperity to new heights,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Anwar also congratulated BN candidate Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani, 38, also known as Awie, on his victory.
BN recaptured the Nenggiri seat after Azmawi won by a big majority of 3,352 votes.
The Kelantan Umno Youth chief polled 9,091 votes to beat PAS candidate Mohd Rizwadi Ismail, representing Perikatan Nasional, who obtained 5,739 votes.
