The Umno senator attributed the BN win partially to political foe Pakatan Harapan fielding an inexperienced candidate, but said it was mainly due to focus on “real economic-social issues”. Popularly known as Azwanbro, the Umno lawmaker noted that the Umno-PAS pact managed to draw 60 per cent of Malay voters this time around compared to 35 per cent in GE14 due to missteps from PH, indicating that the new government leaders were not in touch with the public.
“He talked about building a hospital when our surveys showed voters were more worried about traffic congestion, overdevelopment and water disruption,” he said of the 30-year-old PH candidate.The senator said many voters likely cast their ballots in retaliation of PH’s unfulfilled pledges made before GE14.
