Johor BN aims to win all 56 state seats

Barisan Nasional (BN) in Johor has set an ambitious goal to capture all 56 seats in the upcoming state election on July 11. BN Johor chairman Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi expressed confidence in achieving this, citing positive feedback from various communities. The coalition plans to contest all seats, aiming to retain those already won and seize 16 currently held by opposition parties.

Onn Hafiz indicated that candidate selection is nearing completion, with about 80% of the list finalized. He emphasized that the party prioritizes a candidate's ability to serve over age, aiming for a mix of young and experienced, male and female, Malay, Chinese, and Indian candidates. The final list is subject to change before the nomination deadline on June 27, with ongoing discussions among top leadership and component parties.

The chairman also dismissed rumors that BN hopes for low voter turnout, stating that a higher turnout would provide clearer representation of the people's will. He recalled the party's past successes and pledged to improve services if given another mandate, highlighting their commitment to serving the state.
