PUTRAJAYA, Aug 11 — Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan is confident that the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance has a chance to win five out of six states in tomorrow’s election.
Speaking to reporters after flagging off the ‘Infaq and Waqf One Million Quran’ campaign container here today, Ahmad said the alliance could easily secure Negeri Sembilan, Selangor and Penang, while Kedah and Terengganu are swing states.
“I am confident because I have been to these states. Insya-Allah, we can form a government in five states,” said Ahmad, who acknowledged the challenge of capturing Kelantan due to voters outside the state being resistant to change.
Ahmad said the Unity Government hoped to be given the opportunity to solve the main problems in Kelantan, including hardcore poverty, water supply and employment opportunities for young people.
A total of 9.67 million voters are expected to cast their ballots in the six state polls, while 122,160 voters are eligible to vote in the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election tomorrow. — Bernama
