Umno goes back to the drawing board over DPM nominee - superadmin - 10-28-2020

PETALING JAYA: A party insider said Umno has gone back to the drawing board over its nominee for the deputy prime minister’s (DPM) post in the Perikatan Nasional (PN)-led government.

Prior to this, a source said Umno only put forth one nominee, party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The majority of Umno’s 39 MPs are said to be aligned to the Bagan Datuk MP and want him to reassume the DPM role as part of Umno’s “new conditions” for its continued support for the PN government.

“Our choice was Zahid as he has the experience and was the deputy prime minister too,” said a source in the know.
