PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan will continue to go on house-to-house campaigning as part of its Nenggiri state by-election strategy in Gua Musang to focus on the needs and welfare of the people.
Pakatan Harapan’s Nenggiri state by-election director of operations Adly Zahari said this method was more effective in understanding the real problems of the people, rather than just focusing on speeches during ceramahs, Bernama reported.
“When we go door-to-door or hold group talks and dialogue sessions at the voting district centre, we bring the people closer to us.
“Ceramah is one-way talk – we talk but the people don’t get to talk,” he said when met in the village of Bertam, Gua Musang.
Adly, who is also the deputy defence minister, said his side was focused on meeting with 6-7% of the voters in the constituency, identified as fence-sitters, to convey more information on policies of the unity government.
“Our role is to explain what the government has done because we only want to look after the welfare and needs of the people.
“We try our best to resolve issues faced by the people if these are related to the federal government because we are close to the related agencies to help them,” he said.
The Aug 17 Nenggiri state by-election is a one-on-one contest between Barisan Nasional candidate Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani, representing the unity government, and PAS candidate Rizwadi Ismail.
It is being held after the seat was declared vacant by Kelantan state assembly speaker Amar Abdullah on June 19, after the former incumbent, Azizi Abu Naim, had his membership in Bersatu revoked on June 13.
