Ahmad Zahid Hamidi gestures during his speech at the officiation of the Gopeng UMNO Division Delegates' Meeting today. – Bernama photo GOPENG (July 6): Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident that the cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) can ensure that they retain the seats won in the last general election, its chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said. He said it was based on observations and results of the Mahkota and Ayer Kuning by-elections, and pointed out that BN had secured the Mahkota seat with a majority of 5,166 votes in the 15th general election (GE15), but managed to win with a majority of 20,648 votes in the by-election, thanks to the partnership with PH. 'The same with Ayer Kuning, during GE15, we won with a majority of 2,213 votes then when the by-election happened, we won with a majority of 5,006 votes. That's the type of increase we can see from the cooperation with PH,' he said during his speech at the officiation of the Gopeng Umno Division Delegates' Meeting here today, in the presence of Perak Umno chairman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and Gopeng Umno Division chief Datuk Hang Tuah Din. He said that the cooperation with PH should be a guide and reflection for leaders and the grassroots as the strategy is sound and suitable to retain existing power. 'We cannot be proud and arrogant and want to go solo. This is the current reality and in this way, we can also become dominant in the national political arena,' he said. Meanwhile, Saarani said Perak Umno will focus on attracting support from non-party members as its main strategy in maintaining BN's wins in GE16. – Bernama ahmad zahid hamidi barisan nasional general election politics
