Zahid tightens hold as those aligned to Ismail Sabri to be dropped as candidates

THERE is a possibility of another four candidates likely to be dropped by the UMNO leadership in the upcoming 15th national polls on Nov 19.

Those four are Datuk Seri Noh Omar (Tanjung Karang), Datuk Seri Mohd Salim Mohd Shariff (Jempol), Datuk Seri Ismail Abdul Muttalib (Maran), and Datuk Mastura Mohd Yazid (Kuala Kangsar).

The four added to the list are those that are being dropped as they are aligned to caretaker Prime Minister’s Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s camp, as UMNO’s internal politics heat up with its president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi taking the upper hand.

Previously, it was revealed that four-term Arau MP and caretaker Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim was rumoured as one of those who would be dropped.
