KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 – Federal Territory Umno feels that the president and deputy president posts held by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should be uncontested at the party elections.
Liaison secretary Datuk Seri Syed Ali Alhabsee (photo) said Prime Minister Najib and his deputy Muhyiddin is a good pairing for Umno as they had been involved inpolitics for a long time.
“Why should the posts be contested when Datuk Seri Najib and Tan Sri Muhyiddin managed to increase Umno seats from 79 to 89. This is because of the Malays confidence in Umno,” he told reporters in Cheras, here today.
Syed Ali who is also Cheras Umno division chief said as a democratic party, Umno would not stop party members from contesting the two top posts.
“Those planning to contest should look into the mirror. Don’t follow your desires and emotions. As a member, I prefer that the two posts be uncontested.”
