: UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has denied any internal rivalry within the party’s Youth and Wanita wings over the candidate selection for the Mahkota state by-election.
“There is no tussle over the candidate; the decision will be made by the BN chairman,” he told reporters after chairing the UMNO Johor State Liaison Committee meeting at the official residence of the Menteri Besar in Saujana here today.Ahmad Zahid added that the candidate’s name for the by-election would be finalised before Sept 14, in line with the strategy being devised.
“The number of voters in the Mahkota state seat is three times that of Nenggiri, so the strategy must be different. In Nenggiri, there were only 19 Chinese voters, while in Mahkota, 34 per cent of the voters are Chinese. The Election Commission has set the polling day for the Mahkota state by-election on Sept 28, while the nomination day and early voting are scheduled for Sept 14 and 24, respectively.
