Umno Deputy President Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said based on the initial formula of the negotiations, Umno would also continue to hold on to the 55 seats won in the GE14.
“We want to retain and contest in the seats we won. We also want to contest in the seats where we were number two (second highest votes at GE14).
“We also find that there are seats our BN colleagues never won, because voters there want a Malay candidate, for example.
