PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional must create a political upheaval to recapture the Sepang district at the next general election, coalition chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today.

Zahid said BN possessed the potential to reclaim the district having previously held it until 2013. “The onus is on us to generate a political tsunami to cause an upset,” he said, Berita Harian reported.


Zahid, who is also Umno president, said BN leaders and members in Sepang had to keep the interest of the district’s 170,000 voters at heart to stand any chance at reclaiming the seat.

He said there was big potential for victory if frequent visits were made by “Bossku” Najib Razak, the former prime minister, and the district’s “adopted father” Zambry Abd Kadir, who is chairman of Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad, which has its headquarters at KLIA, in Sepang.


The seat is currently held by Hanipa Maidin of Amanah, who was elected in May 2013. It was previously held by Zin Mohamed of Umno from 2004 to 2013.
