Umno’s election chances not likely to be affected

PETALING JAYA: Umno’s chances of winning the upcoming Johor polls are unlikely to be affected by the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s order for Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to enter his defence on corruption charges involving Yayasan Akalbudi, say political analysts.

Political analyst Dr Ahmad Atory Hussain said that as far as Umno was concerned, the party president’s case would not impact the state election.
