Umno and PAS to back Muhyiddin as PM in next polls

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno will name Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as the prime minister in the next general election, says party secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

He said Umno shared the same stand as PAS in their support for Muhyiddin as prime minister following a meeting between them two weeks ago.“The message of support will also be conveyed to our members through our own party channels,” he said during a press conference here yesterday.

He said this was conveyed by Bersatu president Muhyiddin and PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang during a meeting of party heads under the Perikatan Nasional government in Putrajaya on Wednesday. “This assurance will not only clear the way for GPS to fight the Opposition head-on but is a good sign that Perikatan component parties respect and honour their commitments to assist GPS when the state election is called,” Masing said in a statement yesterday.

Sarawak’s next state election is due in mid-2021 but there is speculation that it could be called this year.
