Bersatu will work hard to gain support of new voters in Johor election, says Wan Saiful

MUAR - Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) said they will not take lightly the addition of new voters throughout Undi18.

Bersatu Information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan said the additional voters for the Johor state elections will bring huge changes to its political landscape

Wan Saiful said to capture these new voters, the responsibility now falls on the party's youth wing, Armada “Some parties already have their own voters who will vote for them no matter what the circumstances are, but it is hard to predict the mind of the young voters.

“They might be voting for different parties and some of them might not even be voting.

“It is a challenge for the political parties in Malaysia and the matters have been discussed by Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the past several weeks.

“The greatest responsibility in approaching the young voters will be given to Armada or the youth in PN, so this is the responsibility that I believe to be fulfilled by our youth wing,” Wan Saiful said.

He made the statement after the Jelajah Penerangan Isu Semasa programme in Parit Haji Ali here, on Wednesday’s night.

For the record, the total of voters in Johor has shown a rise of 28 per cent with additional 749,731 voters aged 18 years old and above due to the automatic registration of Undi18.

Wan Saiful also expressed hope for the Election Commission to provide a win-win situation in setting the campaigning method for the state election.

He explained that conducting ceramah and house-to-house visits are still the most effective methods in conveying the message for all parties involved - Awani
