The supporters, dressed in red, the colour of Umno, and blue, the colour of Barisan Nasional, were seen slowly seen making their way into the crowd where media personnel have been gathered since early this morning at 6am.
The Najib supporters are believed to be ferried from all across Peninsular Malaysia, including from his constituency in Pekan, Pahang.
