“One is the group aligned with Umno President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamid; another is anti-Zahid and wants to topple him. “Except for the Wanita Chief post, all the other contested positions would have these three groups. He explained that as Umno holds the Malay votes in the current government, the party is still very much a dominant force, as it is still the biggest Malay political party in the country. “The neutral group says they are the best to be put in position to change Umno for the better,” said Azmi. PETALING JAYA: The next two weeks of campaigning for the top posts in Umno will be quite a heated affair, as the party is said to have recorded the most candidates in the party polls this time, both at the grassroots and national levels. One of them is the incumbent Umno vice-president and former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who will forego the vice-presidency to compete for the Bera Umno Division chief post.

Analyst warns of reverse gear for Umno if Shahrizat returns to lead ... (MalaysiaNow)

Azman Awang Pawi says Shahrizat's candidacy will lead to questions about whether Umno is able to escape the grip of its old guard.

Analyst Oh Ei Sun said the grassroots support for veteran leaders was due to the time and effort such individuals had spent gaining the loyalty of those on the ground. At 70, Shahrizat is considerably older than many of her would-be counterparts. Shahrizat, who once held the portfolio of women, family and community development, said she had entered the contest for the role again due to pressure from the grassroots.
