Umno's top two posts should be contested – analysts

The posts of Umno president and deputy president should be contested to fulfil the grassroots aspiration to see the current party leadership continue the fight for the party’s struggles.

Political analyst from the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research (NASR) Azmi Hassan said the contest was made even more necessary by allegations that Umno’s dismal performance in the 15th general election was caused by the “president’s factor”.
