Perak UMNO Vows to Keep Ayer Kuning State Seat
Perak UMNO, led by its chairman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, has vowed not to underestimate any opponent in the upcoming election for the Ayer Kuning state seat, which was left vacant following the passing of its incumbent, Ishsam Shahruddin.
Focusing on New Voters
Saarani emphasized that efforts will focus on securing support from new voters in the constituency, citing that the seat should be a comfortable win for the Unity Government candidate, having secured over 9,000 votes in the last election, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) received around 6,000.
Voter Sentiment is Dynamic
He highlighted that, "If combined, that gives us 15,000 votes from both coalitions. However, we cannot take this for granted as voter sentiment is dynamic. Efforts must continue to engage with voters, especially new ones."
Perak UMNO Submits Notice to Speaker
Saarani announced that Perak UMNO had submitted a notice to Perak State Assembly Speaker Datuk Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid regarding the vacancy for the Ayer Kuning seat.
