NIBONG TEBAL: The victory of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate in the Sungai Bakap by-election this Saturday is crucial for the Unity Government as it will positively reflect the cooperation between PH and Barisan Nasional (BN), says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The BN chairman said BN was committed to maintaining good cooperation as PH had previously assisted them in several by-elections and state elections.
“A victory in Sungai Bakap is very important for the Unity Government in Penang and also for the image of the Unity Government at the national level.
“(So) I appeal to the voters to give their support to our candidate and, God willing, if he is elected, the people of Sungai Bakap will benefit greatly as he will work alongside the state government, which is also under the Unity Government,“ he said at the “Malam Kasih Bersama Pemimpin” event at Dewan Khairat Sungai Kechil here tonight.
Also present were UMNO secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and PKR secretary-g eneral Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution.
