Umno voters decide against woman VP, but three in supreme council


KUALA LUMPUR: Umno members have chosen not to vote in a woman as a vice-president in party polls that saw Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail sailing to the top in the race for the three coveted spots.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, the sole woman candidate in the eight-cornered fight for the Umno vice-president race, got 72 votes, putting her in fourth place – not enough to break into the traditionally male-dominated position.
