PETALING JAYA: The prime minister candidate from Umno or Barisan Nasional should not bind himself to any form of agreement to maintain the structure of the previous Perikatan Nasional government, says Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.

Asyraf Wajdi said he had mentioned during last night's Umno supreme council meeting that the candidate must follow the advice of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to form a Cabinet that is capable of translating the political unity and consensus among all political parties during the period to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, to manage the welfare of the rakyat and the national recovery agenda before calling for the 15th General Election at a suitable time in the future.
