KUALA LUMPUR: The decision to not have a contest for the top two Umno positions will reduce the confidence of youths towards Umno, says party vice president Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He expressed concern that the decision would further distance the youth from Umno as it shows that the party is not open and democratic.
"I am worried they will lose trust in Umno and distance themselves from the party," he told a press conference at the party's headquarters here on Saturday . This means that Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Mohamad Hasan will remain as Umno president and deputy president respectively for another term.
