Analysts say Umno’s top 2 posts should be contested
Analysts say the positions of Mohamad Hasan and Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who are Umno's deputy president and president, respectively, must be contested to prove the duo are indeed the leaders the party grassroots want. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, December 29, 2022.
“If the posts were not contested and the president and deputy president remain unchanged, the pressure for the top two leaders to step down will persist and Umno will never be rehabilitated. Another political analyst, Prof Sivamurugan Pandian from Universiti Sains Malaysia, said the contest for the top two posts should be allowed to preserve the democratic process, in line with the party’s constitution.
“If someone continues to question it, it will bring about disharmony and issues of solidarity, and the party must tackle this wisely so the young members and voters can see there are no restrictions in the party. It will show that political integrity is being upheld and that the party is on the right track,” he said.
“It will also give opportunities to young members and new faces to hold top posts in the party,” she said.
