KUCHING: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is confident that Barisan Nasional ( BN) candidate in Sri Aman will win in the coming general election.
He made the assessment based on the majority votes garnered by the three assemblymen during the last state election.
In the last state election Snowdan Lawan ( Balai Ringin assemblyman) enjoyed 2,885 votes majority, Datuk Mong Dagang ( Bukit Begunan) had 2,773 votes majority and Datuk Francis Harden Hollis (Simanggang) had 2,447 majority.
