Kuala lumpur: BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has assured that he will ensure that the Johor State Government moves in line and provides full support to the federal government if it is given a mandate in the Johor state election. Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO president, emphasized the importance of political stability, particularly when victory is achieved with a larger number of seats and majority.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Zahid stated that the BN administration at the state level does not intend to challenge the central administration in any election campaign. He assured that if given the mandate, the Johor state government will continue to collaborate with the central government for the benefit of the people of Johor.
