KOTA KINABALU: Sepanggar member of parliament Datuk Jumat Idris said he was prepared to defend his seat in the 14th general election (GE14).

He is confident of getting a higher majority if selected by the UMNO leadership to stand as a candidate in the constituency.

“I dare to say that my majority will increase if I am nominated again because of my track record in serving the constituency for four years.

“I have visited more than 7,000 houses in Sepanggar and the response from the locals was very good..Insya-Allah if given the chance again, I will deliver one parliamentary chair to Barisan Nasional (BN),” he told reporters after a dinner in conjunction with Christmas for the constituents Sunday night.

Meanwhile, he also supported the statement by Batu Sapi UMNO Youth chief Khairul Firdaus Datuk Akhbar Khan for more new faces to be fielded in GE14. — Bernama
