JOHOR BARU – Umno supporters, especially the younger generation, have no problem voting for Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates, including those from DAP, in the coming six state elections, said Umno Youth vice-chief Mohd Hairi Mad Shah.

He said this is because the youth are now more politically literate and mature to face the new direction of local politics following Barisan Nasional and PH’s move to form the unity government.

“I hope young people can see the momentum of the government today to drive the country forward, so let them vote for the candidates to strengthen the unity government,” he told reporters after the Johor 2023 Oil and Gas Services and Equipment tour programme at the Persada Johor International Convention Centre here, today.

On Friday, Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan was reported to have urged Umno voters in the six states facing polls to vote for DAP candidates in their respective areas in order to strengthen the unity government. – Bernama, May 23, 2023
