KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — Umno is likely to bring forward its triennial party polls to August from October to prevent issues from festering and bogging down its leadership, say party insiders.
The Malaysian Insider understands that the party leadership wants members and delegates to decide quickly on a new slate to take the Barisan Nasional (BN) lynchpin forward before the next general election.
“The party elections are now likely in August and delegates to be chosen during the fasting month in July," a party source told The Malaysian Insider today.
The party’s 193 divisions will hold meetings to indirectly vote for top office bearers together with some 2,500 delegates attending the annual general assembly.
