UMNO menang besar di PRK Mahkota

KEPUTUSAN Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Nenggiri bulan lalu dan pada Sabtu lalu PRK DUN Mahkota menandakan bahawa sokongan orang Melayu dan anak muda telah terarah kepada Barisan Nasional (BN), kata Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi (MKT) UMNO, Datuk Mohd Rafi Alli Hassan.

Katanya, ini jelas sebagaimana di DUN Mahkota apabila semua saluran menampakkan sokongan berpihak kepada BN melalui calon yang ditawarkan iaitu Syed Hussien Syed Abdullah.

“BN menang besar di semua saluran dan di PDM yang melibatkan bangsa Melayu pun. Ini membuktikan bahawa dakwaan kononnya orang Melayu menolak UMNO apabila bersama dalam Kerajaan Perpaduan adalah tidak benar sama sekali malah sebaliknya.

“Keputusan PRK DUN Mahkota menjadi pengukur dan bukti nyata yang kononnya UMNO telah ditolak lantaran bersama dengan Pakatan Harapan (PH) yang di dalamnya ada Dap adalah tidak benar. Bangsa Melayu tetap bersama UMNO malah anak-anak muda juga menerima dan menyokong kesederhanaan, kempen berhemah dengan tawaran kestabilan demi kemakmuran,” katanya kepada UMNO Online.

Beliau yang juga Ketua UMNO Bahagian Labuan berkata demikian sebagai mengulas berkaitan kejayaan BN mengekalkan kerusi DUN Mahkota dengan kemenangan besar dalam pertandingan berturut-turut menentang Perikatan Nasional.

Syed Hussien merangkul kemenangan dengan jumlah 20,648 undi selepas memperoleh 27,995 undi manakala lawannya, Mohamad Haizan Jaafar memperoleh 7,347 undi.

 

Umno records thumping victory in Mahkota

JOHOR Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has thanked all Barisan Nasional (BN) voters in the Mahkota state constituency for enabling them to get a landslide victory in the by-election yesterday.

The Johor BN chairman also described the victory as being the result of the excellent collaboration between the BN and Pakatan Harapan (PH) machinery, working as a team throughout the campaign period.

“Alhamdulillah, we gather in a spirited manner when we get a good mandate from the people.

“We can see that when we work together as a team and cooperate, the result can be extremely inspiring. This is not the solo effort of any party, it is indeed a team effort. Alhamdulillah, we proved that here with the people’s support,” he said.

Onn Hafiz, also the Mahkota by-election director, told reporters this after the official announcement of the result at Dewan Tunku Ibrahim Ismail here on Saturday, which was also attended by leaders from BN and PH.

BN retained the Mahkota state seat after its candidate, Syed Hussien Syed Abdullah won with a resounding majority of 20,648 votes, leaving his Perikatan Nasional (PN) rival Mohamad Haizan Jaafar securing just 7,347 votes.

Onn Hafiz also thanked the leadership, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the BN chairman, and all party machinery in the Unity Government, who had toiled day and night throughout the by-election period.

“On behalf of BN, I wish to express a million thanks to every voter who gave us the mandate, as promised, and tomorrow Syed Hussien will get straight to work for the community,” he said.
