Impossible to take Kedah without major reforms in Umno, says analyst

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: There can only be a major shift in Malay support from Perikatan Nasional (PN) to the unity government if Barisan Nasional lynchpin Umno undergoes major reforms, says a political analyst.

Azmil Tayeb of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) said Umno needs to make some “drastic changes” if it wants to show Malay voters that it was truly a clean party with integrity.

“Umno voters who supported PN in the 15th general election (GE15) will only return to Umno if the party is seen as clean and having integrity, unlike now.
