Chini by-election a walk in the park for BN man

The Barisan Nasional candidate is up against businessman Datuk Tengku Zainul Hisham Hussin who was Pekan Bersatu division deputy chairman and went against his party’s line not to contest the by-election; and 49-year-old blogger Mohd Shukri Mohd Ramli, 49. The latter two are seen by some Chini voters as just trying their luck, especially Tengku Zainul.
To some Chini locals, Tengku Zainul does not appear to have any serious political ideology that would explain taking on the BN even as some others read his candidacy as a reflection of Bersatu’s internal fight between the current leadership and co-founder Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s faction. But then some locals also say this is not the case as Tengku Zainul was not close to Dr Mahathir.
The third candidate Mohd Shukri is similarly seen as throwing in his hat in an attempt to seek publicity even though this is the blogger’s third election attempt in a row to contest in Chini. He started doing so in Election 2013.
