An Umno leader, Said Ali Said Rastan, has challenged claims made by Perikatan Nasional (PN) regarding their anticipated performance in the upcoming Kedah state elections. Rastan alleges that PN’s assertion of winning all 36 seats is an attempt to create a misleading perception of strength. He specifically criticized Kedah Menteri Besar Sanusi Nor for promoting this narrative. Rastan suggests the current state government’s performance does not support PN’s ambitious projections. The statement indicates internal political friction and skepticism surrounding PN’s confidence in a complete victory. This dispute highlights the competitive nature of the Kedah state elections and the differing assessments of each coalition’s prospects. The leader’s comments aim to counter PN’s momentum and potentially sway voters.
