BN sticking to power-sharing principle despite calls from detractors

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional will stick to its power-sharing principle despite calls by a number of Umno division chiefs for the party to take back seats loaned to MCA and Gerakan in previous general elections.

Barisan deputy chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he will defend this principle in the upcoming 14th general election (GE14) as MCA had in the past stood by Umno during the party’s time of need.
