KUCHING: Mambong MP Datuk Dr James Dawos who is election director for Tarat and Bengoh seats was certain that Barisan Nasional (BN) would win both seats in the April 16 polls.
He said although the vote margin would be different, BN could still win both seats.
Dawos, who is Deputy Tourism Minister said this when asked the chances of BN candidates — Roland Sagah Wee Inn (Tarat) and Dr Jerip Susil (Bengoh) — which fall under Mambong parliamentary constituency.
He accompanied Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for a walkabout of Siburan town together with Dr Jerip yesterday.
Meanwhile, Pemanca Austin Dimin who also accompanied Muhyiddin, urged Bidayuh voters to come out in full force for tomorrow’s polls to support both BN candidates.
Both seats are predominantly Bidayuh, who comprise more than half of the total voters.
“As a Pemanca for the Bidayuh community in Kuching, the voters (Bidayuh) must be smart and practical,” said Austin, who was tasked to look after the two seats.
He said the opposition might win a few seats in urban areas, but BN would easily get a two-thirds majority.
Voters should set aside personal matters and look at the bigger picture.
“Bidayuhs being small cannot afford to go back like before and we cannot afford to disunite so we must vote smart and practical,” he added.
