Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin says the party must announce its own candidate in case it wins the most seats at the 15th general election.
Khaled said Umno should not agree to naming a candidate “from a party with no real political power” as this would only lead to chaos and instability. Khaled said the previous Pakatan Harapan government was led by Dr Mahathir Mohamad, then chairman of PPBM, a party that won only 13 seats in 2018. Khaled noted that as prime minister, Mahathir was able to get MPs to jump ship to strengthen his party.
Khaled said there were many potential PM candidates in Umno including stalwart Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, deputy president Mohamad Hasan, fellow vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob, former vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein and former Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, among others.He said Umno should not limit its options even though Muhyiddin Yassin had been named as the Perikatan Nasional’s choice of prime ministerial candidate.
