KUALA LUMPUR: Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa has warned party members against showing support for PKR president-elect Anwar Ibrahim once the party confirms its Port Dickson by-election candidate.
He said action could be taken against any member who supported a candidate of another party.
“If the party decides to put up a candidate to contest in PD, then it is a wrong thing to do, to campaign for the enemy. We need to abide by party rules,” he said at Umno’s headquarters today.
Previously, Padang Rengas MP Nazri Aziz and Shahidan Kassim had said they would support Anwar in the by-election.
Annuar said it was all right for members to say they would support Anwar for now as the party had yet to decide whether to contest the seat.
He said the support expressed was their personal view but once a decision was made for Umno to contest, everyone should toe the line.
Annuar also said they were waiting for party deputy president Mohamad Hassan to return from his vacation on Sept 23 before deciding on the by-election.
“We will announce if we will contest or not on Sept 24 after he comes back. But we have gathered views from the MPs,” he said. - FMT
