Umno delaying its polls for fear of internal split, says PKR sec-gen

KOTA KINABALU – Umno’s decision to postpone party polls until after the general election was for fear of a party split, said PKR deputy president candidate Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

He said this was unlike PKR, which decided not to further delay an internal election.


“Umno is scheduled to hold a special general assembly next Saturday to amend the party constitution to delay party elections for six more months after the general election.

“Party election means division. But for us in PKR, we are returning the mandate to members despite concerns of division.
