Umno proposes Ismail Sabri as GE15 PM candidate
The Umno Supreme Council today decided that Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be its poster boy for the upcoming 15th general election.
Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan in a statement announced that the council has agreed to name Ismail Sabri (above, right), who is party vice-president, as their choice for prime minister candidate.
“The Supreme Council unanimously agreed to propose that Ismail Sabri become our prime minister candidate for the upcoming GE15,” he said.
The decision came amidst speculations over Ismail Sabri’s fate in the general election, especially in terms of his premiership.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (above, left) had during the recent Johor state election indicated that the party had yet to decide who to become its poster boy for the general election.
