KOTA BARU – Ketereh Umno divisional leader Tan Sri Annuar Musa today advised the party election machinery in the Ketereh parliamentary constituency not to close their operations rooms or be disgruntled that he was not fielded to defend the seat in the 15th general election (GE15).
“My message to all election workers...don’t be agitated, don’t close the operations room, don’t lose hope. We keep track of developments with patience and perseverance. Every action we take must follow much thought.
“We are following developments calmly. Do not widen the rift, especially among comrades and Muslims. Sometimes we are misunderstood, and sometimes we are slandered with heartbreaking slander.
“However, we must hold to the truth and honesty. Insya-Allah, there is a blessing in it,” said the incumbent Ketereh MP on his Facebook page today.
Barisan Nasional (BN) has fielded Marzuani Ardila Ariffin to contest the Ketereh seat.
According to Annuar, the Kelantan Umno Puteri leader also asked for his opinion because she had to fill in the nomination form today.
In GE14, Annuar won Ketereh with a majority of 4,626 votes against PAS and PKR.
The Election Commission has set November 19 as polling day for GE15, with the nomination on November 5 and early voting on November 15. – Bernama, November 3, 2022
