KEMAMAN: Barisan Nasional needs to work hard throughout the two-week campaigning period for the Kemaman parliamentary by-election to regain the trust of Kemaman residents who were once die-hard Umno and Barisan supporters.

Former Kemasik assemblyman Datuk Abu Bakar Ali said the party needs to understand why this constituency, once regarded as an Umno stronghold, could fall to their rival’s hands by a handsome majority.
