Ayer Kuning polls: Tapah BN to use different approach in wooing voters

Tapah BN will use a different approach in wooing voters in the Ayer Kuning state by-election in April.

Tapah BN vice-chairperson M Saravanan, who is also MIC deputy president, said the Tapah BN machinery will conduct a campaign according to the “local” model to ensure the victory of the candidate chosen to represent the coalition.

"The machinery at the division level understands the needs and problems of Tapah, and this unique approach has successfully enabled BN to have elected representatives from various races here," he said at a press conference yesterday.

The Tapah MP is confident that BN will be able to retain the Ayer Kuning state seat in the by-election.

The Election Commission has set polling day for the Ayer Kuning state by-election on April 26, with the nomination and early voting dates for the by-election on April 12 and 22, respectively.

The Ayer Kuning state by-election was held following the death of incumbent Ishsam Shahruddin on Feb 22 due to a heart attack after participating in the 4-corner Football Championship in Penang.

In the November 2022 general election, Ishsam, the Tapah Umno division chief since 2018, won the state seat by securing a majority of 2,213 votes in a five-cornered contest.
