Barisan Nasional (BN) is now in its final round of campaigning which will focus on efforts to bring back voters staying outside the constituency to return to vote, said BN director of the by-election for the Kuala Besut state seat Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
He said here today that the BN was also getting its machinery ready to provide transport specifically for use to bring voters out to vote in the by-election on July 24.
"Our campaign has proceeded well and no extra efforts have been made except for the preparation to bring back outside voters to cast their votes on Wednesday," he said when asked on 'extra efforts' made by the BN before the conslusion of the campaign four days from now.
The Besut Umno division head said the Besut campaign machinery was moving in a very proper manner and the candidate had entered all the voting areas and met with almost all the voters in the area.
The Kuala Besut state constituency has 17,679 voters of whom 93.33 per cent are normal voters, 6.67 comprised military and police personnel together with their wives and one overseas voter.
Idris, who is also the Second Education Minister, said public acceptance for the BN candidate, Tengku Zaihan Che Ku Abd Rahman, 37, or fondly known as 'Abe Ku' was also improving.
PAS is fielding a contractor, Endot alias Azlan Yusof, as its candidate.
"Previously, there were allegations that Abe Ku was an outsider but after it was proven that he is a local and the son of an ustaz, public acceptance for him continues to peak," he said.
Idris also expressed his gratitude to Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said who had been working hard in Kuala Besut to ensure than BN retained the seat.
The by-election is being held following the death of incumbent Dr A Rahman Mokhtar from the BN on June 26.
