Nenggiri polls: Harapan machinery ready to help in BN campaign - Fahmi

The Pakatan Harapan machinery is ready to help campaigning for the BN candidate in the by-election for the Nenggiri state seat in Kelantan next month, said Harapan Communications director Fahmi Fadzil.

The communications minister said Harapan would contact the office of Gua Musang Umno chief Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to ascertain their needs to ensure victory for the candidate.

“We will give our best cooperation and I hope that this campaign will run in an orderly manner without the use of abusive and offensive words, including on social media,” he told Bernama after checking out the full rehearsal of the installation ceremony of Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar as the 17th Agong at Istana Negara today.

Yesterday, Kelantan Umno chief Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub announced that state Umno Youth chief Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani has been selected as the BN candidate for the Nenggiri polls.

Prior to this, Kelantan assembly speaker Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah confirmed that the state assembly seat was vacant with effect from June 19 following the incumbent Mohd Azizi Abu Naim’s removal from Bersatu membership when he expressed support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The Election Commission has set the Nenggiri state by-election polling day on Aug 17, while the dates of candidate nomination and early voting for the by-election have been set for Aug 3 and 13 respectively.
