JOHOR BAHRU: Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob attended a meeting with Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and the party’s Johor political bureau here today.

Ismail, who is Umno vice-president, arrived at caretaker Johor menteri besar Hasni Mohammad’s official residence, Saujana, at Jalan Hassan Al-Attas here at 8.42pm.

Also present at the closed-door meeting were Umno deputy president Mohamad Hassan, secretary-general Ahmad Maslan, and Hasni, who is also the Johor Umno chairman, as well as other members of the state party leadership.

Yesterday, Mohamad was reported to have said that Umno was targeting to contest at least 42 seats in the upcoming Johor state elections.

Following the dissolution of the state assembly on Saturday, Johor Barisan Nasional (BN) said it planned to contest without the cooperation of parties outside the coalition because it was confident of winning two-thirds of the 56 seats up for grabs.

The previous government led by BN had 28 seats, while Pakatan Harapan held 27 seats.
