BN component parties have already reached a consensus that the post of the coalition chairperson will continuously be held by the Umno president.
"In its supreme council meeting held last month, it was agreed, in consensus and convention, that the Umno president is the BN chairperson," BN secretary-general Annuar Musa (above) said via Twitter.
This came after Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos had backed a purported call for Pekan MP Najib Abdul Razak to be reappointed as BN chief, a position he held as then prime minister and Umno president.
He said this would help "strengthen Umno and BN" and regain public confidence ahead of the next general election.
"This (appointment) can be done. The president (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) can then focus on Umno's internal matters, to strengthen and bolster Umno," Jamal told Sinar Harian.
The BN supreme council had appointed Najib - who is facing 42 charges of money laundering, abuse of power and criminal breach of trust - to head the coalition's advisory board in July last year, slightly over a year after its historic loss in the last general election.
At the time, several Umno leaders, including Padang Rengas MP Nazri Abdul Aziz, had described the move as "regressive" and not good for the party. - Mkini
