Bersatu doubles down on last-minute campaign

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) is significantly ramping up its campaign activities in the crucial final 24 hours leading up to the Johor state election polling day. The party is focused on maximizing voter engagement and outreach across all constituencies where its candidates are competing.

Datuk Dr. Sahruddin Jamal, the Chief of the Johor State Leadership Council for Bersatu, conveyed optimism about the party's prospects. He stated that Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidates, particularly those from Bersatu, have received a "very encouraging" response from the public. This positive reception has bolstered the party's confidence in achieving victory.

"Alhamdulillah, so far the Bersatu Johor campaign has been very smooth. Many voters I have met, regardless of race, we have all welcomed them in various places," Sahruddin remarked. He emphasized that the party will not become complacent and will continue to increase its efforts to connect with voters.

As a candidate himself for the DUN Bukit Kepong seat, Sahruddin plans to remain highly active in the final stretch. "In the last 24 hours, I, as the candidate for DUN Bukit Kepong, will continue to be active, meet as many people as possible, and ensure the media publicizes my every activity and program," he said. This approach of close engagement is being mirrored by all Bersatu candidates to ensure voters are familiar with them and their campaign efforts.

Sahruddin, a former Johor Menteri Besar, expressed confidence in his ability to continue serving the DUN Bukit Kepong constituency, citing the positive reactions from voters. Having represented the area for two terms, he believes his track record and commitment to the community are well-recognized. He also stated his compliance with any decisions made by Bersatu's leadership regarding potential seat allocations with other parties.
