BN sah tanding semua 56 kerusi PRN Johor

BARISAN Nasional (BN) Johor disahkan akan bertanding di semua 56 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) bagi menghadapi Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) akan datang.

Pengerusi BN Johor, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi dalam hantaran terbaharu di laman sosial hari ini memaklumkan, keputusan itu dibuat selepas mengambil maklum pandangan, suara, harapan rakyat dan kepimpinan akar umbi UMNO dan BN Johor.

Onn Hafiz yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri  (ADUN) Machap berkata, keputusan itu juga diambil selepas berbincang dengan pucuk kepimpinan parti.

“Saya dengan rasa penuh insaf dan tanggungjawab menyatakan bahawa Barisan Nasional Johor akan bertanding di semua 56 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri pada Pilihan Raya Negeri akan datang.

“Bagi UMNO dan Barisan Nasional Johor, pendirian untuk bertanding di 56 kerusi DUN adalah tawaran yang jelas kepada rakyat bahawa kami bersedia untuk terus membentuk sebuah kerajaan yang stabil, kuat dan berkhidmat sepenuhnya kepada pembangunan negeri serta kesejahteraan Bangsa Johor,” katanya.

 

BN to contest all 56 seats in Johor polls

BARISAN Nasional looks set to go into the much-speculated Johor Elections solo without cooperation with Pakatan Harapan.

Onn Hafiz Ghazi, who is also state Barisan chairman, said the collation would contest in all 56 seats in the upcoming state polls.

“I have listened to the voices and hopes of the Johor people, as well as the Barisan and Umno grassroots, about the upcoming state elections.

“After discussing with the party leadership, we have decided that Johor Barisan will contest in all 56 seats in the state,” said Onn Hafiz, who is also state Mentri Besar, in a Facebook post on Saturday (May 16).

Speculation is rife that Johor could have snap polls by October, especially after heightened political activity during Umno’s 80th anniversary celebrations at Istana Besar here on May 11.

However, no official announcement has been made yet.

After Umno’s 80th anniversary celebrations, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Johor elections would only be held after receiving the blessing from His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
