PM Need Not Campaign, BN Confident Of Victory
ALOR GAJAH, April 9 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi need not come down to campaign in the by-election for the Machap state seat on Thursday as the people are confident of the prime minister's leadership.
Najib said it was the policy of the Barisan Nasional (BN) that the prime minister need not campaign in by-elections as the rakyat were already convinced by the policies announced such as the national mission, the Ninth Malaysia Plan and so on.

26 April 07 changed everything. Now the pm need to campaign,why? It's big question mark.Usually pm don't campaign for by elections, only when they seem it's quite difficult to win they will go down to the ground.Some are saying that BN is not fully confident that they will win in Ijok, some are saying that pm has no confidence in his deputy(which i don't agree), some are saying this was arranged by kayjay to undermine najib.But for me the first one is more logic, it is the confident level that brought the pm to the ground.The best part in Ijok opposition campaign tactic is to slander najib and not a single word to pak lah.Something fishy.
