PETALING JAYA: A deeper political crisis is in store if Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) picks Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu over Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali as deputy prime minister, says an Umno supreme council member.

Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said this would be the scenario if Azmin is passed over, as Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wants Ahmad Faizal to be DPM, as he holds a higher rank in Bersatu.
