The UMNO Elections are long overdue. They should have been held yesterday. All eyes now are on one position only – the deputy president. Since Muhyiddin was fired and thrown out of the party there has been great speculation who shall be the deputy party president.
Not only has the deputy president been kicked out but another Vice President Shafie Apdal has also left UMNO. Leaving behind Hishamuddin and Zahid Hamidi as the two incumbent VPs.
Both Zahid Hamidi and Hishamuddin Hussein will (or rather they must) vie for the vacant deputy president’s post.
The money says if Hishamuddin Hussein becomes Deputy President, then of a certainty KJ’s career in UMNO will be substantially impeded. KJ knows this as well. So KJ has no choice but to also aim for the Deputy President’s post.
Observers note that KJ has lately been appearing wearing his Reserves military uniform – perhaps sending a strong signal to Hishamuddin Hussein the Minister of Defense that KJ too can tie his boot laces.
So Zahid, Hisham and KJ will be vying for the Deputy President’s position in UMNO.
No one seems to favour Zahid Hamidi as the Deputy President, deputy PM or as PM. Zahid can be helped here but other than telling him to stop showing his fist, his advisors are not helping him at all. I think that UN speech in English was sabotage.
If Zahid had spoken in Malay at the UN, even I would have voted for Zahid. Zahid would have come out as a Malay and Malaysian champion. It was a fantastic opportunity lost. Bila lagi nak berbahasa Melayu brader? (Dulu masa mamak tak reti cakap Melayu, depa kutuk mamak tak suka Melayu. Sekarang mamak fasih cakap Melayu, depa kutuk mamak nak jadi Melayu pula. Kay se-paata)
Coming back to UMNO, there is therefore a serious vacancy for the three Vice Presidents positions as well.
Talk is the front runner for VP is none other than Ismail Sabri. Tokpa or Mustapa Mohamed is also in the running they say. The other person hoping to be VP is Mahadzir Khalid. And Sabah UMNO wants a VP slot as replacement for Shafie Apdal. If Sabah UMNO does not get a VP slot, they say you can shut down UMNO in Sabah.
As the stomach churns.
