Shahrir: PM doesn't need to be party president

  • 3 years ago
Veteran Umno figure Shahrir Abdul Samad said his party must break free from the tradition of limiting its prime ministerial candidate to the party president.

At a forum in Kajang, Selangor today, Shahrir said Umno should drop its "one-man show" concept where power is centralised.

He said this was crucial as the party will soon be going into an election and there does not appear to be a consensus on who ought to be a candidate for prime minister.
