Only 15 weeks to GE13, delegate tells Umno members

An Umno Youth delegate told party members today that they have only about 15 weeks to prepare for the 13th general election. 

Cameron Highlands division Umno Youth chief Wan Azizi Ahmad said party president Najib Abdul Razak had reminded of this during a closed-door briefing with delegates yesterday. 

“Since yesterday we have wanted BN to win. But believe me and agree with me if I say that at the division and branch level, there are issues that can bring about BN’s defeat. 

“Thus it is my hope that, as the president had said yesterday, we have only about 15 weeks to face the 13th general election. 

“Monitoring teams, please go down (to the ground) now. Don’t indulge in rhetoric that our divisions are comfortable and safe. No. 

“Therefore (members of the) general assembly, let us all clasp our hands in prayer to Allah. Not for the destruction of others’ parties but to ensure that our party lasts until the end of time,” he said while reciting prayers. 

He said this while addressing the 66th Umno Youth general assembly at PWTC today.
