Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, has admitted that the Linggi state constituency is not a guaranteed victory for him in the upcoming state election. He described the seat as a stronghold for Barisan Nasional (BN), which has historically not lost there.
This is not a safe seat, and it is a stronghold for Barisan Nasional (BN), and that party has never lost the seat in previous elections.
Despite the challenging nature of the Linggi seat, Aminuddin views it as an opportunity to serve the local population. He believes that winning in Linggi would significantly benefit the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition's overall performance in the Negeri Sembilan state election, scheduled for August 1.
Aminuddin, who is also the Chairman of PH Negeri Sembilan, conveyed his gratitude to the voters of the Sikamat constituency. He has represented Sikamat since 2008 and expressed deep appreciation for their consistent support for PH, starting with Pakatan Rakyat. He expressed confidence that they will continue to support the new candidate for Sikamat, Nor Azman Mohamad.
But I feel this is an opportunity for me to serve the residents in Linggi and ensure PH's continued success in this election.
The announcement was made during the PH Negeri Sembilan Candidate Announcement Ceremony at Dataran Melang, officiated by PH Chairman and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
I am very indebted to them. I love them, and I am confident they will continue to support PH, which began with Pakatan Rakyat in 2008 until today.
