Umno infighting to continue after GE15, says Fitch Solutions

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The risk of factional disputes within Umno is likely to increase even if Barisan Nasional (BN) wins the next general election (GE15), says US credit rating agency Fitch Solutions.

Noting that BN and Umno appeared to be in a “dominant position” ahead of GE15, the firm highlighted the schism between two main factions in the party: those supporting the current government led by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and those supporting former prime minister Najib Razak and his allies, including Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
