UMNO supporters, especially the younger generation, have no qualms about voting for Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates, including those from DAP, in the state elections, Umno Youth vice-chief Mohd Hairi Mad Shah said.

He said this is because the young people are now more politically literate and mature to face the new direction of local politics following the collaboration between Barisan Nasional (BN) and PH in forming the unity government.

“I hope the young people can see the momentum of the government today to drive the country forward. So let them vote for the candidates to strengthen the unity government,” he told reporters after the Johor 2023 Oil and Gas Services and Equipment tour programme at the Persada Johor International Convention Centre in Johor Baru today.

On Friday, Umno Supreme Council member Ahmad Maslan was reported to have urged Umno voters in the six states facing polls later this year to vote for DAP candidates in their respective areas to strengthen the unity government. – Bernama, May 23, 2023.
