PETALING JAYA: Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said his vice-president, Ismail Sabri Yaakob, remains the prime ministerial candidate should Barisan Nasional win the coming general election (GE15).
Zahid said the decision to nominate Ismail as prime minister was final.
Notwithstanding, he said the power to appoint the prime minister still rested with the King under the Federal Constitution.
“So, if an opposition party says BN is naming someone other than Ismail (as the prime ministerial candidate), then that’s just their attempt at sowing disunity in Umno and BN.
