Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin (above) today confirmed he will defend his post in the party elections.
“I will defend my post,” was his brief reply to reporters after officiating at the soft launch of UCSI University’s Bangladesh branch campus in Kuala Lumpur today.
The two other Umno vice-presidents currently are former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Mahdzir Khalid.
Meanwhile, in JOHOR BAHRU, State Umno Youth chief Mohd Hairi Mad Shah said he was throwing his hat into the ring for the youth movement’s vice-chief’s post.
The Larkin assemblyperson and Johor Bahru Umno Youth chief said his move to climb up the party ranks has the blessings of divisional and state leaders as well as Umno Youth chief Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
Among the candidates he is expected to face is former prime minister Najib Tun Razak’s son, Mohd Nazifuddin.
The incumbent youth vice-chief is Shahril Sufian Hamdan. However, he has been suspended by the party for six years.
The party elections and annual meetings kicked off on Feb 1 and will run until March 18.
