JOHOR BAHARU, April 4- The Johor Baharu Barisan Nasional (BN) election machinery is ready for the 13th general election (GE13). Johor MCA deputy director of elections, Datuk Tee Siew Kiong said for BN to remain in power in Johor, the party machinery would strive to ensure victory regardless who would be the candidates contesting in the elections.
“We have been working hard in the areas we lost in the last elections, unlike the opposition who dissappeared after the elections and now suddenly they resurface,” he said.
Meanwhile, Johor Gerakan chairman, Datuk Teo Kok Chee said he would call for a meeting soon on the final preparations to further strengthen its election machinery. Teo, who will lead the election machinery, said as a BN component party, Gerakan had been actively preparing its election machinery since three years ago.
“We have no problem in helping the party to win. With about 200 members on board in every seat, we are ready to counter the opponents, especially in our mission to win back the Skudai seat which was won by DAP in the last general election,” he said.
On Feb 12, Teo confirmed he would not contest the Skudai seat to make way for a new candidate, saying he was confident that a young candidate with very high potential could wrest back the hot seat.
