Lembah Pantai Umno division chief Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said this confidence was based on the positive work plan and support received by the BN to recapture the seat, won by Nurrul Izzah Anwar of PKR in GE13.
“In the past five years, I have continued to fight for the BN.
“Since then, I have gone to the ground to help and resolve the problems of the people,” he told reporters after the Mega Rondaan SRS Bersama Boss programme here today.
He said the work plan, development agenda and transformation being implemented by the government had given a high level of confidence to the BN machinery to recapture the parliamentary constituency, where more than half of the registered voters are Malays.
“The support from the people is much better than in the GE13. Many former PKR supporters in the area have swung to BN after they were disappointed with their elected representative, who failed to help them.
“This situation has given the BN a better chance than the last GE,” he added.
