  • UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) can maintain their winning momentum in Perlis to regain the state in the 16th General Election (PRU16).
  • To achieve this, the party must carefully select candidates who are well-liked and actively serve local communities.
  • Continuous engagement through impactful programs is crucial for sustaining public support and realizing the "blue wave" in Perlis.

The winning momentum of UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN), demonstrated in recent state elections, holds the potential to carry over to Perlis, enabling the coalition to reclaim the state in the upcoming 16th General Election (PRU16). This "blue wave" could sweep Perlis, mirroring successes in Johor and Negeri Sembilan.

However, realizing this resurgence requires strategic considerations, particularly concerning candidate selection and sustained grassroots engagement. Firdaus Abd Razak, a member of the Kangar UMNO Division Committee, emphasizes that candidates must be popular among the populace and demonstrate a consistent record of service within their constituencies. He also highlights the necessity of ongoing programs that directly benefit the community to maintain voter enthusiasm.

Looking at the results of the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections, it is not impossible for the winning momentum to continue in Perlis. God willing, the blue wave will also hit Perlis.

"Looking at the results of the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections, it is not impossible for the winning momentum to continue in Perlis. God willing, the blue wave will also hit Perlis," Firdaus told Utusan Malaysia. BN secured victories in the Johor state election on July 12 and repeated this success in Negeri Sembilan on August 1.

Firdaus further stated that BN's victories in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and potentially Melaka soon, signify a renewed acceptance of UMNO and BN by the electorate. He urged the party to remain humble, asserting that "UMNO must always continue to practice humility or modesty. God willing, UMNO will once again become the party of choice for the people in this country."
