Muhyiddin: Too early to announce polls plan
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says it is still too early for him to announce plans for the party polls in December despite persistent press queries wanting confirmation of any intention to run for any of the top two posts.
“It is still too early; the branches have not even had their meetings yet. It has not reached that stage yet,” he told reporters who swarmed him after the Umno 62nd anniversary gathering at the PWTC yesterday.
Sunday Star yesterday quoted Muhyiddin as saying that he had received a lot of feedback from “grassroots, advisers and proposers” who told him it was time to move up the party hierarchy.
Muhyiddin said yesterday that there was nothing yet to announce.
“The time (for branch and division meetings) is still far away. No parties have made any proposals. It will have to depend on current situation, which has not reached there yet,” he said.
Asked if he had decided which post he wanted to contest, he said he had not said anything on this matter.
Asked if he would be retaining his vice-presidency post, Muhyiddin replied: “I am already the vice-president. Why should I be concerned whether to maintain that or not? It is up to the delegates to decide.”
When asked if he would go for any of the top two posts if there were nominations from the ground, Muhyiddin reiterated that things had not reached that stage yet.
