Zahid: Nenggiri will see transformation in a year if BN wins

Nenggiri will undergo a significant transformation within a year if the people give their mandate to BN in the by-election on Aug 17, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.

He said the Nenggiri state seat needs to return to BN and the development of the area will be well managed if the coalition wins.

“Therefore, I urge the chairpersons of each agency to play their roles in ensuring a victory for BN.

“Various efforts have been made by all agencies, especially Kesedar (South Kelantan Development Authority) and Felda, which have significantly contributed to Kelantan's development,” he said during the launching of the BN machinery at the Gua Musang Umno division office today.

The deputy prime minister added that the people should be grateful to the government for its extensive support in the state's development.

He also said the BN machinery needs to work hard to secure votes and ensure the coalition wins.

“I assure you that Nenggiri will undergo significant changes, and I will personally support BN candidate Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani to achieve this.

“Currently, in Kelantan, we only have two representatives - Kota Lama represented by Pakatan Harapan and Galas represented by BN. Therefore, We need to win Nenggiri,” Zahid stated.

Azmawi fits the bill

On Azmawi, Zahid said the Kelantan Umno Youth chief was chosen as he met the required criteria and was also the choice of Gua Musang Umno division chief, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

“Alhamdulillah, we have announced the candidate and the election machinery has been launched. Now, the entire BN machinery needs to work hard,” he said.

Azmawi, meanwhile, thanked Zahid and Razaleigh for their trust in him to contest the by-election.

“I am not seeking personal success; instead, I want to serve the people of Nenggiri. By Allah's will, this success is for the party and for all of us,” he said.

Also present in the event were Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and Kelantan BN chairperson Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub.

The Election Commission has set Aug 17 for polling, with nomination day on Aug 3 and early voting on Aug 13.
