LUNDU: The Barisan Nasional (BN) election machinery for Tanjung Datu constituency will ensure that the main goal to win with a higher majority can be achieved in this coming state election.

Santubong MP Dato Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, who has been appointed by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem as director of the election machinery there, said this would be a big responsibility for him.

“Our main goal is to ensure that the Tanjung Datu incumbent, who is our chief minister, will win with a higher majority than what he previously won at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) and parliamentary level.

“I am confident that we can achieve this mission with the cooperation from all BN and PBB election machineries at Tanjung Datu constituency,” he said when met after Adenan launched the PBB Tanjung Datu election machinery at Lundu community hall yesterday.

Wan Junaidi, who is Natural Resources and Environment Minister, said he together with the Tanjung Datu election station would arrange for the best manoeuvres to ensure a win for their incumbent (Adenan).

“Our assemblyman was formerly the Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office but now, he is our chief minister and as such, we must ensure an outstanding achievement for this constituency.”

He pointed out that since taking office as chief minister, Adenan had been fighting for the rights of Sarawak, particularly through his evolving discussions with the federal government.

“This is why the win is crucial as a strong leverage for the chief minister to discuss with the federal government,” he said, adding that Tanjung Datu currently has 32 PBB sub-branches and comprises more than 9,700 voters.

On a related matter, Wan Junaidi called on other BN component parties, namely PRS, SUPP, and SPDP to work with PBB.

He also sought the cooperation from BN-friendly parties UPP and Teras so as to ensure an indisputable win for the chief minister.
