Segamat, March 6\u00a0—\u00a0Barisan Nasional (BN) is targeting a two-thirds majority victory in the Johor state election,\u00a0Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime minister said BN\u2019s chances were good, but the coalition does not intend to merely settle for a simple majority win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, on behalf of BN, I would say chances are good but as I have said, in any competition, we can\u2019t declare victory before the final whistle is blown,\u201d<\/em> he said at a media conference after officiating at the launch of the Keluarga Malaysia Armed Forces Homes (RKMAT) at the Segamat Camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"majority\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also present were Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein,\u00a0Chief of Defence Force Gen\u00a0Tan Sri Affendi Buang, and\u00a0Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, Ismail Sabri, who is also UMNO vice-president said the party machinery must continue to work hard until a winner is declared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am confident, the Johor Menteri Besar is\u00a0confident and Datuk Seri Hishammuddin is also confident, but confidence alone is not enough, the machinery must keep working to ensure a better performance.\u00a0“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I have said, we do not want a simple majority, we want more than a simple majority, if possible two-thirds of the seats to be won by BN,\u201d<\/em> he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BN will be contesting all 56 seats up for grabs in the March 12 polls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
