Kuala Lumpur: No surprise when the Barisan Nasional MPs unanimously chose a UMNO candidate, Ismail Sabri Yakoob, ‘who is clean’ from any court cases as the Prime Ministerial candidate.
UMNO was also unanimous on the choice and this puts Sabri in the lead against other potential PM candidates, including Anwar Ibrahim.
BN says Sabri is a candidate accepted by the people after UMNO MPs met to discuss the name of the Prime Ministerial candidate following instruction to all MPs to send a statutory declaration letter to Istana Negara and nominate the ninth Prime Ministerial candidate.
