KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's unity government has bought itself a little bit of time after Umno decided that the top two posts in the party will go uncontested in the upcoming party polls, analysts say.
Ahmad Zahid had said he would leave it to delegates to decide whether the two top posts in the party should be contested in the upcoming Umno elections, which must be held by May 19 this year, and over the weekend they decided the top posts would not be contested. "In the long term, Zahid's detractors in the party have been given fodder to attack his credibility on the basis of his avoiding competition through allegedly dubious means .
"It definitely guarantees the stability of the unity government for at least the next few months. It was the first hurdle for the unity government — whether Zahid will survive. Now the longevity of the unity government depends on a) the outcome of Zahid’s court cases and b) the outcome of the state elections this year.
