KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 20 (Bernama) -- Senator Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Kuala Terengganu by-election, is determined to prove that Umno and the BN still have the support of the people by winning the parliamentary seat on Jan 17.Saying that he was surprised and touched by the trust given by the party leadership, the Deputy Home Minister was confident that the maturity of the constituents in Kuala Terengganu would again give BN the victory.
The 46-year-old Wan Ahmad Farid, who is Kuala Terengganu Umno division head, was also confident that the support of the 103 Umno branches in the constituency would foil the opposition's plan to wrest the seat which was won by the late Deputy Education Minister Datuk Razali Ismail in the general election on March 8.
"I humbly accept (the nomination), this is the time for us to prove to everyone that the BN will always uphold the tradition of championing the cause of the people," he said to the applause of more than 4,000 suporters who were present during the announcement of the candidate by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today.
The Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election is being held following Razali's death on Nov 28.
Najib, when announcing Wan Ahmad Farid as the BN candidate, explained the selection made by him and Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, as they were confident that the candidate would again bring victory to the BN.
Meanwhile, Wanita Umno head Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, when asked to comment on the selection of Wan Ahmad Farid, said she too shared the top leadership's confidence in the candidate's ability to achieve victory for the BN.
She said the Wanita movement had already started their activities to assist the BN candidate in the by-election.
Umno Youth head Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, meanwhile, said the cooperation of everyone including the Umno and the BN component parties' wings would ensure victory for the BN.

Orang ramai masih memberi sokongan kuat kepada BN. Tetapi Wan Farid mesti melakukan yang terbaik agar sokongan yang diberikan adalah berterusan.
Datuk; Amanah Jujur dan Cakna Rakyat adalah teras kemenangan BN di K.Terengganu nanti. Jentera BN perlu dijaga dengan baik jangan seperti Kelantan pada pilihan raya lalu. Ramai yang tersinggung akibatnya melarikan diri. Saya senitiasa di Belakang BN. Insya Allah Taala kita akan menang.
