KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 — It’s as if the seven-day ‘free trial period’ has ended and now the state election campaigns are moving on to the ’premium’ level, with the battle for the three states governed by Perikatan Nasional — Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu — intensifying ahead of polling day on August 12.
The presence of key leaders including PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who is also PH president, and Ahmad Zahid who is also Umno president in these three states has also raised the stakes with just five more days of campaigning to go before the polls. Despite being involved in the controversy, Muhammad Sanusi, who is PAS’ national elections director continues to speak out, with clips of his speeches doing the rounds on social media — especially TikTok — still maintaining his target of winning 33 seats in Kedah.
Meanwhile, commenting on the campaign journey and examining the chances of the parties competing on the East Coast, political analyst Mohammad Tawfik Yaakub said he felt that all candidates vying for the 32 Terengganu state seats were seen to be in fierce competition, which began right after nomination.
“The machinery has been hard at work even before nomination day. We have covered the young voters and fence-sitters and I am confident that BN-PH will be able to win at least 18 seats, and maybe more if the support continues to increase in the final week,” he said. Kelantan BN secretary Datuk Seri Md Alwi Che Ahmad is reported to have said that they were confident of winning eight more seats than in GE14, including Pengkalan Kubor, Wakaf Bharu, Kota Lama and Apam Putra.
