KUALA LUMPUR: Only six votes separate the two rivals for the post of Umno Youth vice-chief, Umno election committee chairman Shahrir Samad said today.
He said the result hangs on the votes of eight divisions who have yet to submit their results to Umno headquarters.
Shahrir said the battle for the position was very intense, with only six votes separating Hairi Mad Shah who obtained 85 votes and Ikmal Hazlan Ikmal Hisham who had 79 votes as of 8pm.
“The result could change as there are eight more divisions (that have yet to send their results),” he said at a press conference at party headquarters.
Noraini, Akmal Saleh and Nurul Amal Fauzi win
Shahrir said the results of the elections for the heads of Umno Youth, Wanita Umno and Puteri Umno could be unofficially determined tonight.
Noraini Ahmad has successfully defended her position as Wanita Umno chief against Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, while Norliza Abdul Rahim also defended her position as Wanita vice-chief.
For the position of Umno Youth chief, Dr Akmal Saleh won comfortably with 119 votes so far compared to the 50 votes won by his closest challenger, Shahar Abdullah.
Shahrir also said Nurul Amal Fauzi successfully won the Puteri Umno chief post while the wing’s vice-head is Siti Sokhleha Nordin.
The official results will be announced tomorrow morning.
Shahrir said a fresh election would be held to determine the position of Kuala Kedah Wanita Umno chief. He said it was in line with the party’s principle, which gives representatives three days to submit objections. - FMT
