Yan, 24 Okt – One day after the nomination of candidates for the by-election for the Sungai Limau state seat, the Puteri Umno movement is already actively campaigning and introducing the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate.
Early this morning, 20 Puteri Umno members distributed 2,000 pamphlets on the BN candidate, Dr Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim to the people at the morning market at Sungai Limau Dalam town.
Puteri Umno Exco member Nurhuda Ab Karim (rpt Nurhuda Ab Karim) said she would focus on areas frequented by members of the public including the morning market to get closer to the people of various age groups.
“Besides distributing pamphlets to the voters, especially patrons at the morning market, we will also visit the houses that we have identified to distribute aid,” she told Bernama, near here today.
She said Puteri Umno would also participate in all programmes at the District Voting Centres (PDM) and render assistance in terms of logistics, food and so on.
Nurhuda, who is also the vice-head of the Bandar Tun Razak Puteri Umno division in Kuala Lumpur, said so far Puteri Umno received positive feedback from the electorates when distributing the pamphlets.
Puteri Umno was also identifying locations with many young voters through the workers deployed at 19 PDM in Sungai Limau, she said. The two-page pamphlets circulated by Puteri Umno also included the profile of Ahmad Sohaimi and his aspiration for the Sungai Limau state constituency besides listing down the district voting centres and several statements made by BN deputy chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister, and the Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Tun Mahathir.
The by-election for Sungai Limau will be held on Nov 4 to fill the vacancy following the death of Tan Sri Azizan Abdul Razak from PAS on Sept 26.
The by-election will see a straight fight between Ahmad Sohaimi and the PAS candidate, Mohd Azam Samat.
