The result of the Chini by-election proves this, says UTM's Azmi Hassan. FMTNews BN NajibRazak ZahidHamidi
PETALING JAYA: A political analyst sees the result of the Chini by-election as confirming the strength of former prime minister Najib Razak’s political presence as well as the political acumen of Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.He said it was clear that Najib had the support of the grassroots, noting that played a significant role not only in Chini but also in other by-elections BN has won since the last general election.
Of Zahid, he said he had shown that he could decide on BN’s direction and negotiate effectively with other parties, including PPBM and Perikatan Nasional. BN’s Mohd Sharim Md Zain won last Saturday’s by-election with a 12,650-vote majority against independents Tengku Zainul Hisham Tengku Hussin and Mohd Shukri Mohd Ramli, who obtained 1,222 and 137 votes respectively.
“I think the grassroots are more inclined towards Muafakat Nasional than to Perikatan Nasional, but Muafakat Nasional cannot rely on Malay support alone. This is where Umno leaders differ on the strategy moving forward.” Another analyst, Mohd Izani Mohd Zain of Universiti Putra Malaysia, said the impact of the Najib factor could not be denied.
