Negeri Sembilan PH chief sets sights on BN stronghold with development promises for the state constituency.
SEREMBAN: Negeri Sembilan Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun is ready to shoulder the challenge of contesting the Linggi state seat, the Barisan Nasional (BN) stronghold, in the 16th Negeri Sembilan State Election.
He said his confidence in securing victory in Linggi is driven by his determination to ensure the constituency is not left behind in development, given its proximity to Port Dickson, which is growing as the state’s tourism and economic hub.
“I am confident we can develop Linggi into a more prosperous area in the future. The planned port and industrial developments will bring prosperity and ensure the people of Linggi are not left behind.
“The Linggi constituency is a BN stronghold and I will be contesting there to ensure victory. Nothing is impossible,” he told reporters after the PH candidate announcement ceremony at Dataran Melang, Kuala Pilah, last night.
The Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar, who is also the Port Dickson Member of Parliament, said victory in the Linggi state constituency would enable him to draw closer to the local residents, thus have a better understanding of their needs.
Aminuddin appealed for the support and blessings of Linggi voters to continue the development agenda and ensure that the area enjoys the abundance of development projects planned by the state government.
He also expressed his appreciation to the voters of the Sikamat state constituency for placing their trust in him for four consecutive terms since 2008.
“To the voters of the Sikamat state constituency, I would like to say thank you. I am deeply indebted to them. I care about them, and to this day they have continued to support me. I am confident they will also support our new candidate,” he said.
Meanwhile, Aminuddin’s political secretary, Nor Azman Mohamad, who has been nominated to contest the Sikamat seat, is determined to continue the legacy of service built by Aminuddin throughout his four terms, while ensuring that the people’s welfare agenda continues to be strengthened.
“Insya-Allah, I will do my best to continue the work carried out previously and defend this PKR stronghold for the formation of the Negeri Sembilan government,” he pledged.
In the 15th Negeri Sembilan state election, Aminuddin secured 12,730 votes to retain the Sikamat seat with a majority of 2,662 votes, defeating a Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate and two independent candidates.
The Election Commission (EC) has set July 18 as nomination day for the Negeri Sembilan state election, followed by early voting on July 28 and polling day on Aug 1.
