Explain why ‘poster boy’ Hasni not made MB, Umno told

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Umno is obliged to explain to Johor voters why Hasni Mohammad was not appointed the menteri besar when it had used the “poster boy” as its candidate to lead the state during the recent election campaign.

Ilham Centre’s head researcher, Yusri Ibrahim, believed that Hasni, being Barisan Nasional’s (BN) menteri besar designate, was an impetus that led to Umno’s big win in the elections.

“Johor Umno needs to answer to the voters because part of its campaign was proclaiming Hasni as the menteri besar designate.

“The party had promised the voters that Hasni would be made the menteri besar if the people’s mandate was given to it. Now, Umno must explain to the voters what went wrong,” he told FMT.
