‘No backlash in Umno’


PETALING JAYA: Umno will continue to push for the 15th General Election (GE15) to be held this year and is in no danger of imploding despite Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s recent expose, say analysts.

Universiti Malaya political analyst Prof Dr Awang Azman Awang Pawi said Umno wants an early GE15 as it fears Barisan Nasional’s chances of winning with better results could be slimmer if they are held later.
