PH confident of defending allfiveofits Negri seats

Pakatan Harapan is optimistic of being able to retain all five of its parliamentary seats in Negri Sembilan.

This is based on what Negri Sembilan Pakatan chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun described as “positive developments” in campaigning so far.

Aminuddin, who is also Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar and also Pakatan candidate for the Port Dickson parliamentary seat, said the coalition is also confident of capturing two more parliamentary seats through their systemic machinery mobilisation efforts and the support of the people.

“Alhamdulillah, we are seeing increased support and I hope it stays that way until polling day.

“We will continue with our campaign efforts despite the ground readings and I will also keep meeting voters in the hope they will back Pakatan.

“I have also gone to Rembau, Kuala Pilah, Tampin and Seremban. I feel we can defend the five seats we hold now and try to capture another two.

“We are seeing increased support from day to day,” he told Bernama after observing the early voting process at the Segenting Army Camp here.

In GE14, Pakatan won eight parliamentary seats in Negri Sembilan, namely Seremban, Rasah, Port Dickson, Tampin, Kuala Pilah (before Bersatu exited the coalition). It also went on to win 20 state seats to form the state government.

However, Barisan deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, in the run-up to the polls, has also expressed confidence that they can wrest Tampin and Kuala Pilah and also capture Port Dickson.
