Contest will prove Zahid, Mohamad’s legitimacy, says Umno leader

PETALING JAYA: Two Umno division leaders have called for the presidency and deputy presidency to be contested, with one arguing it will allow the top two to gauge their support among the grassroots.

Bandar Tun Razak chief Rizalman Mokhtar said the grassroots should be allowed to determine who was qualified to lead the party.

“To prevent a contest for the top posts is to deny the grassroots from choosing a leader they feel can help restore Umno’s image,” Rizalman said in a statement.
