Aminuddin, who is also the Barisan candidate for the Tambun parliamentary seat, said the campaign was going smoothly.
He said the Barisan campaign in the constituency, which also covers the state seats of Manjoi and Kinta, was proceeding well because the candidates – Datuk Mazlan Abdul Rahman and Datuk Azizul Kama Abdul Aziz respectively – were both locals.

"We have to accept the fact that there are 180,000 voters (here), and the area is wide. In terms of travel, we are at 15% to 20% (campaign coverage) so far.
"We are always on the move but there is (a lot of area to cover) due to new housing areas. So it may be a bit difficult to meet everyone," he said.
Aminuddin said Tambun Barisan also uses social media platforms to campaign and reach out to as many voters as possible.
