Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin said the party has not received any official list yet on the possible candidate for the Bagan Pinang state by-election in Negeri Sembilan.
Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin said the party has not received any official list yet on the possible candidate for the Bagan Pinang state by-election in Negeri Sembilan.
"They have not sent the list officially; I only read about it from newspaper reports," he told reporters here when asked on the Barisan Nasional's (BN) candidate for the area.
Earlier he visited the Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority's (Fama) Pasar Tani in Shah Alam.
Muhyiddin said that any decision on the BN's candidate would only be announced after the Election Commission (EC) had fixed the dates for the nomination and polling.
He called on certain quarters not to speculate too much into the matter.
The media recently reported that all 33 Teluk Kemang Umno division committee members had unanimously proposed the division's chief, who is former Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohd Isa Abdul Samad as the BN candidate.
The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent assemblyman Azman Mohammad Noor of BN on Sept 4.
The EC will meet tomorrow to fix the dates for the nomination and polling.
Muhyiddin on MIC
On the results of MIC elections yesterday which saw leaders aligned to MIC president S Samy Vellu sweeping to victory, Muhyiddin said, "This is the decision of MIC delegates and it is accepted by all."
He said that the BN hoped that the new line-up would work hard to regain the support of the Indian community to the party.
"The new line-up is now responsible in strengthening and consolidating the party," he said.
Muhyiddin said he believed that the new MIC line-up would give serious attention to the call by prime minister that the party should help bring victory to the BN.
