SHAH ALAM: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be aided by Umno's top five leaders to make the right choice on the 15th General Election (GE15) date, says Tan Sri Noh Omar.
The Selangor Barisan Nasional chairman said that whether the polls were held sooner or later, what mattered most was ensuring Barisan's win at the federal and state levels.
Noh added that Umno's top five leaders had also been helping Ismail Sabri in crafting harmonious solutions to the many challenges that he inherited from the previous administrations when he became prime minister in August last year. Prior to losing federal power in GE14, Barisan had only experienced being the opposition in several states, he said.

Setting up of new wing BN Puteri important as coalition prepares for GE15, says ZahidKUALA LUMPUR: The setting up of Barisan Nasional Puteri, which was approved on Sunday (July 31), is important as the party prepares for the upcoming 15th General Election (GE15), says Barisan chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. He said the approval of the wing which would be sanctioned at the Barisan supreme council meeting in August would also see new Barisan Puteri candidates being nominated to contest in GE15. 'The reality before us is that, if we want to win, we must feature more new faces as proven in the Melaka state election with 87% new faces, and we managed to win over two-thirds majority. 'The formula adopted in the Johor and Melaka polls was the best and we will do better than that, we prioritised on fresh faces after learning from the political tsunami in GE14,' he told a press conference after launching the Barisan Puteri convention here. He said the preparedness of Barisan Puteri - a combination of female youth wings of component parties such as Puteri MIC and Beliawanis (MCA) - was at the optimum, thus showing the seriousness of the Barisan machinery in facing the challenges of the upcoming polls. 'I see that among the component parties, the effort to strengthen Barisan is clearer, and definitely we must set aside our differences,” he said. On the anti-party hopping Bill that was passed, Ahmad Zahid said the matter is a manifestation of the agreement of all political parties to ensure that the trust placed by the people in leaders is protected. - Bernama
