State polls: Umno bigwigs expected among BN candidates


KUALA LUMPUR: A large number of Barisan Nasional supporters dressed in dark blue have started to throng the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTC KL) ahead of its much-anticipated candidates announcement for the six state polls.

Barisan is expected to contest 45% of the 245 state seats in the upcoming elections and will field candidates from Umno after component parties MIC and MCA decided not to contest the Aug 12 state polls.
