PETALING JAYA: The heat is on in Umno as members jostle for seats and party positions as well as trying to pick the “right horse” as they clamour for a general election to be held this year, according to party insiders.

Two Supreme Council members told FMT that there are two factions within the party: those close to vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who is the prime minister, hope he will speed up party elections as soon as possible; the other faction, aligned to party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, wants party polls to be held after the next general election (GE15).

The Ismail faction wants early elections in the hope that he would become party president and thus have the final say in selecting election candidates.


“If Zahid remains the Umno president, they fear they might not be picked as candidates,” one Umno leader said.
