Ahmad Maslan reveals Ismail Sabri not Umno’s first pick for PM, but …
KUALA LUMPUR – Bera MP Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob is not Umno’s first choice as prime minister, said Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
The party secretary-general told the press at Menara Dato Onn today that Ismail Sabri came in third behind Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
“Zahid decided to pull out from being nominated at the political bureau meeting, and also the Supreme Council meeting yesterday. He didn’t want to be nominated.
“The second name that came up was Tok Mat, but he doesn’t fulfil the criteria as he is only an assemblyman. So, we chose Ismail Sabri.
“Ismail Sabri has the experience, and he was a senior minister and the deputy prime minister. He is the most capable candidate.” – The Vibes, August 18, 2021
