The party’s division chairman Lim Moh Leng and secretary Lee Shong Fek are going all out to campaign for Mukhriz, even entering PAS territories in this predominantly Malay seat.
Lim said Mukhriz was the right man to bring development to the vastly agricultural Jerlun constituency.
“The Chinese here will fully back him as they want progress,” said Lim.
There are 45,515 voters, with a large PAS support base in Jerlun. Datuk Abdul Rahman Ariffin, who stood under the Barisan Nasional banner, wrested the seat from PAS in 2004 with a 2,142-vote majority.
“The people here need to think about the future. There is no question who should be the MP here,” Lee said, adding that the youngest son of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would know what to do.
Muhkriz, who is an Umno Youth executive council member, is facing PAS central committee member Idris Ahmad in a straight fight.
