Najib-Muhyiddin Can Regain Party’s Strength - Mustapa

JELI, Oct 26 (Bernama) — The Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin combination as Umno president and deputy president can restore the party’s image, Jeli Umno head Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said.

He said the combination of the two experienced leaders was the best unifier for the party because of their long service records, and should receive the support of grassroots members.

“I hope Najib and Muhyiddin are given the opportunity to lead Umno,” he said when opening the delegates assemblies of the Jeli Umno Youth, Wanita and Puteri at Bukit Nangka Umno Complex here Sunday.

Mustapa who is Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister, said Umno’s strength lies on the cooperation and solidarity of members. Therefore the two aspects should always be promoted with sincerity, he added.

To ensure that Umno was not plagued by internal crisis, he said, all party members should strive for this aim and realise that their foes were opposition parties and not other Umno members.

Vengeance and envy would only bring disunity, he said and added: “This is not our objective. Our objective is to ensure Umno emerges as the winner and recapture the states governed by the opposition.”
