Barisan Nasional (BN) berkemungkinan akan menamakan calon Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) ke-13 lebih awal berbanding pilihan raya sebelum ini, kata Setiausaha Agung BN, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
Beliau berkata perbezaan daripada amalan biasa ini tidak tertakluk kepada calon Umno sahaja malah semua parti komponen BN.
Tengku Adnan, yang juga Setiausaha Agung Umno, berkata ada lebih banyak kebaikan untuk menamakan calon lebih awal berbanding keburukannya dan menegaskan ada sedikit perbezaan pada pilihan raya umum akan datang.
Bagaimanapun, katanya, rancangan itu terserah kepada Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, yang juga Pengerusi BN, untuk membuat keputusan.
"Saya yakin kali ini ia akan dilaksanakan dengan sedikit perbezaan. Barangkali ia akan dinamakan lebih awal dari biasa," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis korban dan kenduri rakyat sempena Aidiladha anjuran Umno Bahagian Putrajaya, di sini, Jumaat.
Semalam, Ketua Penerangan Umno, Datuk Ahmad Maslan berkata Umno belum bercadang untuk mengumumkan lebih awal nama calon bagi mengelak perbuatan sabotaj termasuk mereka yang tidak dipilih mewujudkan 'pasukan' bagi menjatuhkan calon terpilih.
Tengku Adnan berkata nama calon bagi kerusi Parlimen dan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) pada pilihan raya umum akan datang sedang melalui pelbagai saringan untuk disenarai pendek.
"PRU-13 boleh diadakan pada bila-bila. Nama calon semua sudah kita terima dan separuh sudah dalam peringkat akhir untuk dimuktamadkan. Ada satu tempat, terdapat dua atau tiga nama (calon). Kadang-kala, satu nama sahaja di kawasan tertentu, namun proses saringan tetap dijalankan.
"Kita nak calon yang rakyat nak, bukan calon yang parti nak atau calon yang orang tertentu nak. Calon yang rakyat nak kerana mereka akan menjadi wakil kepada rakyat," katanya.
Sementara itu, Tengku Adnan menafikan bahawa individu tertentu telah diarahkan oleh Perdana Menteri, Timbalan Perdana Menteri atau Setiausaha Agung BN kononnya untuk 'mencari calon pilihan raya' atau membuat kajian selidik calon di kawasan tertentu.
"Ada yang masuk ke kawasan dengan menjual nama saya, Perdana Menteri, presiden lain dengan menyatakan dia telah diarah turun untuk mencari calon. Ini adalah tidak betul dan satu pembohongan yang besar. Jangan terpedaya dengan mereka," katanya.
Mengenai Perhimpunan Agung Umno dari 27 November hingga 1 Disember ini, Tengku Adnan berkata ia akan menumpukan kepada persiapan pilihan raya yang akan datang.
"Seperti biasa, kita akan bincang berkenaan usul dan ucapan presiden, usul ekonomi, agama dan pendidikan.
"Dalam ucapan presiden, beliau (Najib) akan kekalkan mengenai persiapan untuk menghadapi pilihan raya, kalau pilihan raya belum diadakan tetapi kalau pilihan raya sudah diadakan, berkemungkinan beliau akan sebut kemenangan yang kita capai," katanya. - BERNAMA

ReplyDeleteMemang baguslah kalau lebih awal supaya calon pun boleh bersiap sedia dengan cukup untuk pilihanraya, nak kempen sana sini.
ReplyDeletetidak sabar nak tau siapa calon di Sabah ni.
ReplyDeleteKita tunggulah pengumuman nama calon daripada pemimpin tertinggi BN.
ReplyDeleteDiharapkan calon boleh menang akan dilantik untuk mewakili BN pada PRU-13 nanti.
ReplyDeleteEarly announcement of Barisan Nasional line-up will allow candidates and their machinery to plan their next move and ensure victory for the ruling party.
ReplyDelete“The candidates will have the opportunity to introduce themselves, if they are new, while the incumbents should renew ties with their voters by continuing to go down to the ground and listen to the people’s grouses,” said Jahid, who is also Tamparuli Assemblyman.
ReplyDeleteIn welcoming the proposal by BN secretary general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor to announce their candidacies earlier than past elections, Parti Bersatu Sabah Youth chief Datuk Jahid Jahim said doing so would enable them to strategise their moves and be able to befriend their would-be constituents.
ReplyDeleteHis view was echoed by Sabah Puteri Umno chief Musliati Moslimin who said an early introduction would also enable voters to evaluate candidates and their abilities.
ReplyDeleteHowever, she admitted that there would be consequences if the proposal was approved, which among others would enable the opposition to ‘attack’ and find ways to belittle the BN candidates by playing up with issues that may tarnish both the party and the persons fielded in their constituencies.

ReplyDeleteHaving said that, she however said that they would agree with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s decision on whether to make early announcement on BN’s candidates or stick to practice of the old system.
ReplyDelete“The Prime Minister is a wise man and I believe whatever decision he makes is for the good of the party,” he said.
Adnan had recently said there may be possibility of early announcement of BN’s candidacy in the coming 13th general election, adding that it would apply to all component parties under the coalition.
ReplyDelete“There are more pros than cons when we announce our candidacy early,” he said, but left it to Najib to decide.
ReplyDeleteIn KENINGAU and TENOM, BN leaders have also expressed full support for the early announcement of candidates in preparation for the 13th general election.
ReplyDeleteTenom Umno Youth chief Jamawi Jaafar described the announcement as more positive than previously done.
ReplyDelete“Such political transformation will reduce the sabotaging of candidates by some unhappy parties,” he told The Borneo Post.

ReplyDeleteJamawi, who is also Umno Youth Exco said dissatisfaction could be more easily detected and acted upon as there would be ample time before the election.
“What is important is that the candidate who is announced early, is the people’s candidate, “he said.
ReplyDeleteKeningau MCA Youth chief Leonard Teo said announcing the candidate’s name would make party members feel confident that the selected candidate would really be well received and supported by the people.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete“For me, the chosen candidate must be one who can win (winnable candidate) and well received by the people,” he said.
ReplyDeleteParti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Supreme Council member Datuk Dr Bernard S Maraat said: “Let the list of candidates be decided by the BN leadership, especially Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak. I believe Najib will announce the names of the BN candidate when the election comes.”
ReplyDeleteTambunan Divisional PBS vice-chief I Datuk Lawrence Gimbang said there were pros and cons in the early announcement of candidates.
ReplyDelete“The good — the candidate will be ready to face the 13th general election besides strengthening their machinery.”
ReplyDeleteThe ugly part of it, said the former State Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker, could be sabotage by leaders who were not selected as candidates.
Liawan Division PBS Youth chief Augustine Nain supported the proposal that candidates be announced earlier so that the candidates could prepare to campaign, and those not selected as candidates could help BN to win the election.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Keningau Umno Youth chief Azman Ruslan said only Umno leadership could make the final decision or conclude on who would contest in the election.
ReplyDelete“This we have to really understand and we need to be rational and be open-minded if Umno leadership makes a decision outside expectation,” he said.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete“For me, who is chosen by Umno leadership (to contest) is not a big problem because in the end, the person is actually representing Umno and BN,” he said.
