Awang Azman Pawi says recent remarks by Umno about electoral seats highlight grassroots sentiments. FMTNews PPBM Umno NajibRazak
Political analyst Awang Azman Pawi says Najib Razak will return to lead Umno if he is freed of his corruption charges.
“The ex-Umno leaders ran down their old party and labelled them as corrupt, so it is hard for the grassroots to accept PPBM the same way as it is difficult for PAS grassroots to embrace Amanah. “The recent statements from leaders on Umno wanting its seats highlight the sentiments on the ground. It is important that Umno listens to its grassroots as they will decide if Umno can become the dominant party once more,” Awang Azman said.
“It looks like if Najib is freed of his charges, a return to lead Umno is certain,” he said, adding that the former prime minister had much stronger machinery and support than Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. “In the name of moving forward, especially with the Covid-19 crisis, this has been put aside. But the general belief is that Umno should play a bigger role especially on the political side of Perikatan Nasional.”
He said there were concerns that because Umno received an “unfavourable” deal in Perikatan Nasional, this could happen if the party stood with PN in GE15.
