Good news for PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Umno has decided to back him as the poster boy for the next GE and the PM’s response was also positive, he thanked everyone for the support.
Mr Sabri says the support from the party to get him to carry on until the next GE and beyond if they win the elections is proof the Umno is a united political organisation, though it has clans and people have the freedom to express their views.
However, Umno’s Supreme Council confirmed the decision passed by the party’s general assembly last month, which said that internal leadership elections will take place six months after Malaysia’s 15th general election (GE15) and the PM will have to call for elections after July this year. The party wants the MoU with the Pakatan Harapan to be void by July this year to make way for the polls.
