Kedah Umno Youth: Appointing ex-AG into supreme council is a 'political mistake'


PETALING JAYA: Kedah Umno Youth has criticised the new party supreme council lineup, particularly the appointment of Mohamed Apandi Ali, saying that this is a "political mistake" and will only drag the party further down into the mire.

In a statement on Saturday (July 14), the state's Umno Youth chief Datuk Shaiful Hazizy Zainol Abidin (pic) said the former attorney general's appointment was a "desperate move" and showed Umno's inability to cultivate internal talent and compete with the ruling Pakatan Harapan government.
