Antara calon BN yang menang semalam ialah Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, yang kini memasuki penggal kesembilannya, bagi kerusi Parlimen Kota Samarahan dan Ketua Puteri Umno, Datuk Azalina Othman Said yang baru pertama kali menjadi calon, di Pengerang, Johor. Pengerusi BN, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, menyifatkan perkembangan itu sebagai isyarat awal untuk BN mencatat kejayaan besar pada pilihan raya umum Ahad depan tetapi menegaskan, jentera parti perlu terus meningkatkan usaha memastikan kemenangan. "Alhamdulillah dan tahniah kepada yang menang," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Pejabat Umno Bahagian Kepala Batas selepas proses penamaan calon di Dewan Millenium, Kepala Batas. Ini adalah pilihan raya umum pertama Abdullah mengetuai BN sejak dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri 31 Oktober lalu, mengambil alih daripada Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
