Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said the factors for the landslide victory were due to the effectiveness of the BN-PAS election machinery under the Muafakat Nasional pact, besides the background of a good young candidate. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa
But, the co-operation between the two biggest Malay-based political parties, PAS and BN, under the PAS-BN Muafakat Nasional spirit, and a new alliance of parties in Perikatan Nasional, could be viewed as a preparation for the 15th General Election , especially in the new normal following the threat of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In the war room, we expected to receive around 10,000 votes or a little bit more only... after taking into account several factors. It was a very big triumph indeed when we won with a majority of 12,650 votes compared to the majority prior to this,” he added. “This resulted in the effectiveness of the BN-PAS machinery in working as a team, besides receiving the blessing of the Perikatan Nasional leaderships, an alliance of several government parties at the Federal level.
“The effectiveness of the campaign machinery also gives a signal to the people on the capabilities of the Perikatan Nasional government as a coalition of political parties that can work together to advance the agenda on the people’s welfare and the nation’s progress,” he added. Meanwhile, Universiti Sains Malaysia , Centre for Policy Research and International Studies lecturer, Dr. Ainul Adzellie Hasnul opined that the BN landslide victory with a big majority in the Chini by-election would strengthen its position at the state assembly in Pahang as a BN stronghold.
