KUALA LUMPUR: Those who want to contest Umno's top two positions must announce it immediately, says party information chief Datuk Isham Jalil.
He said that Umno is open to any member contesting the president, deputy president or three vice president positions.
“We believe this narrative was to spark anger among the members toward the leadership,” he told reporters at a press conference at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur here on Thursday . “The initiative was based on the motion brought by the division chiefs to avoid chaos within the party as it just participated in the unity government. I think the administration is still fragile,” he said.
