KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno divisions and branches have been ordered to immediately identify and approach 18-year-olds who are automatically registered as voters.
"We need to pay attention to this group of young voters because this group is an important and critical segment of voters that determine winners during the election," said Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin in a statement Wednesday .
"They are easily influenced by populist campaigns, therefore there is a need for Umno to intensify the campaign to get close to these young voters to help them understand political situations in the country," he added. "When the party makes the approach towards these young people, it gives them an impetus to work together for Umno's struggle," he said, adding that the party's Youth and Puteri wings must play their role to win over new voters.
