SEREMBAN – Tan Sri Annuar Musa said the Umno Supreme Council’s decision to nominate Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as prime minister in the 15th general election (GE15) was an advantage to the party.
The Ketereh Umno division chief said the nomination would gather support not only among Umno members, but also the public and other political parties.
He also said it was a strategic and appropriate move that would enable Umno to increase its strength in facing GE15.
“I would like to congratulate the president and also the Supreme Council for making the right decision,” he said when met by reporters at an iftar event at Klana Resort here today.
Commenting further, Annuar said Umno must always take into account the sentiments and fulfil the aspirations of the people.
He said the people would evaluate, and if the prime minister performs well, Umno will have the upper hand in the upcoming general election.
Yesterday, the Supreme Council unanimously proposed Ismail Sabri, who is also the party’s vice-president, as its prime ministerial candidate in GE15. – Bernama, April 15, 2022
