Winning chance for BN to grab parliamentary, state seats in Kelantan - Mustapa
KOTA BHARU, March 26 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan Barisan Nasional (BN) stands a great chance of winning the Tumpat parliamentary seat and Kota Lama state seat in the 14th General Election, says chairman, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
He said as such, the state BN would seek more ways to win the hearts of voters for both seats which would enable BN to return to its glory of governing Kelantan.
"Previously, we aimed to win eight parliamentary seats. Now, we are adding Tumpat as our target because our liaison body has observed that there are changes there now.
"For state seats, previously we aimed for 30. However, within these two days, we have found that the MCA candidate proposed for the Kota Lama state seat is rather energetic and well-received by the Malay and Chinese communities," he told reporters after attending the state assembly at the Kota Darul Naim Complex here today.
Previously, Kelantan BN aimed to win three parliamentary seats, namely Bachok, Pasir Puteh and Kuala Krai as well as defend parliamentary seats in Gua Musang, Jeli, Tanah Merah, Machang and Ketereh.
Meanwhile, Mustapa, who is also Kelantan UMNO Liaison chairman, denied allegations that the state UMNO held campaigns to prevent Kelantanese voters from outside returning home for GE14.
