KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 18 (Bernama) -- Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should not be blamed for the Barisan Nasional (BN) defeat in the Kuala Terengganu by-election.
"Some voters did not support BN because they do not like the candidate," he said when asked to comment on polls where Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut from Pas beat BN's Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh by 2,631 votes yesterday.
Speaking to reporters after launching the Save Palestinians Campaign organised by the Coalition of Malaysian NGOs at the Bangsar Sports Complex here today, Dr Mahathir said the voters had to choose between the BN candidate and Pas' and they finally picked the Pas candidate.
"They also do not like Pas but they were forced to choose," he said.
Najib who is BN deputy chairman led the coalition's election machinery.
