Tawau: Wanita Umno Kalabakan believes the time has come for the Merotai seat to be returned to Umno in the upcoming general election.Its Chief Chaya Sulaiman said this is because in the past three elections, Umno had worked really hard to campaign for candidates from Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) who stood in the constituency."However, during these years, we heard various complaints and grievances from the people there who wish that they are represented by Umno instead," she said.

Chaya said the statement by Umno Kalabakan Chief Datuk Seri Abdul Ghapur Salleh reflects the true voice and desire of the people in the constituency.She added if Merotai is not represented by Umno, Barisan Nasional (BN) faces the risk of losing the seat because many of the voters refuse to support candidates from other parties but Umno in the coming election.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.

Therefore, she hoped that Umno and BN leadership will pay close attention to the issue and fulfil the wish of the people of Merotai, especially because only Umno leaders who are committed go to the ground to meet with the people."That is the reason why they want Umno to represent them," she said, adding that she and her group will not help to campaign for other candidate if the candidate is not from Umno.
