Umno does not plan to field the children of imprisoned former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak in his Pekan parliamentary seat for the 15th general election (GE15).

Instead, five names from the Pekan Umno division have been put forward, including Najib's, its chief Zamri Ramly told Utusan.

"There are no plans to field Najib’s children to contest in Pekan if he loses the eligibility to contest.

"Whoever is chosen to contest there (will) hand the seat back to Najib when he's pardoned later," Zamri was quoted as saying.
