KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) must step up efforts to clarify the controversy surrounding the position of Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan before nominations for the Melaka state election begin, Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said.
Johari, who is also Federal Territories BN chairman, said a comprehensive explanation was needed to address misunderstandings about BN following the proclamation to remove Tuanku Mukhriz Tuanku Munawir.
He said the period before the election could also be used to clarify other issues to ensure voters understood the circumstances before BN entered the contest.
"The public must be told that the people seeking to remove Tuanku Muhriz are not Umno. This must be explained properly.
